By this time he had only just finished transferring data to disk but the format was changed to strips. He said that strips were worse than magnetic tape which was the first format he dealt with. His family went back to the construction of his [[Great House|house]], which wasn't affiliated to any chapter so they were ideal material for archivist work.

As his family was unaffiliated with any of the chapters, he was ideal for work in the archives. Several times over the years he had to transfer data from one archival format to another, starting with magnetic tape and progressing through to disks and strips.

Leela had K9 Mark I distract the Archivist so that she could search for Andred's biodata extract, but he returned from speaking with Romana with a veiled instruction to assist her. He helped her find Andred's, which was empty, and then Torvald's, which had been tampered with. (AUDIO: The Inquiry) He later helped Andred find information on Pandora for Darkel.
