I have a interest in best value and the modernisation of the public sector.
My dissertation for my MA in Archives and Records Management at the
University of Liverpool (2001) looked at the impact / implications of best
value on local authority archives. Since then I have tried to keep an eye on
developments. As a result of this I have designed a web site: 'Best Value
and Archives' at http://www.bestvalueforarchives.org.uk
It includes:
* An introduction to best value
* An explanation of challenge, consultation, consultation and
competition (with an archival slant)
* A timetable of best value reviews (BVRs) of archive services in
England and Wales with links to on-line material relating to the reviews
* Links to Audit Commission inspection reports and council reports of
BVRs involving archive services
* Details of further reading
If you have any comments on the web site or if details of the BVRs are out
of date / inaccurate please email my home address
([log in to unmask]).
Please note the web site does not represent the views of Liverpool City
Council.
