British Archives: The Way Forward
This document was prepared in 1999 by the National Council on Archives in
order to sharpen priorities within the archival world, clarify major
concerns within the profession and assist potential resource providers to
adjudicate between hard choices in a climate of limited availability. It
sets out the background to archive provision in Great Britain and identifies
four major target areas for concentration of energy and resources within the
archive community over the next five years, namely: Access for all,
Comprehensive availability, Preservation and Conservation and Innovation.
The document was presented to the Trustees of the Heritage Lottery Fund in
May 1999 and received their general support.
British Archives: The Way Forward has now been published with the generous
support of Bell & Howell. Copies will have been distributed to heads of
repositories and archival organisations by the end of March. For additional
