Six interviews with former long-term public servants. The aim of the project was to record the experiences of those who had a long career in the public service before the reforms of the 1980s, particularly in departments which no longer exist. Topics discussed include the way in which departments were organised and how work was done, along with the social life and customs of departments. Interviewees discuss their own experiences as well as recalling colleagues, Ministers and MPs with whom they worked. The interviewees are Harry Holden, Joyce McBeath, Jock McEwen, Kara Puketapu, Barry Tucker and Robin Williams
