The NATIONAL COUNCIL on ARCHIVES
The Government is now considering the recommendations of a major new report
into the future of archives in the UK. Let the government know what you
think archives should be doing for you in the 21st century.
The Task Force Recommendations are:
1. Creating a website that will bring together all the archival resources
available online & give everyone the chance to access OK archives.
2. Showing the difference that archives make to the social & economic life
of people in the UK
3. Helping more people to learn from archives, whether they are in formal
education or not
4. Increasing the chances for community groups to access archives
5. Making sure that business, private and specialist archives can develop
alongside the more established public archives.
6. Making sure that film, sound, photographic & digital archives are looked
after & made available
7. Helping archive services to be more effective & efficient.
