The Cheshire Reccord Office is currently undertaking a major
reorganisation of storage, which inevitably raises questions of
re-appraisal. Among the leading candidates for such treatment are the
records of pre-1974 local authorities, which have been allowed to
accumulate in rather piecemeal fashion.
I am sure that many of our professional colleagues have resolved these
problems long ago; if anyone has a satisfactory scheme for the appraisal
and selection of such records, we would be very pleased to hear from
them.
