Introduction to the Archives Hub
The Archives Hub provides a single point of access to descriptions of
archives held in UK universities and colleges. At present these are
primarily at collection-level, although where possible they are linked
to complete catalogue descriptions. The Archives Hub forms one part of
the UK's National Archives Network, alongside related networking
projects.
A Steering Committee which includes representatives of the Public
Record Office, the Historical Manuscripts Commission and the other
archive networks guides the progress of the project.
The service is hosted at MIMAS on behalf of the Consortium of
University Research Libraries (CURL) and is funded by the Joint
Information Systems Committee (JISC). Systems development work is
undertaken at the University of Liverpool.
