Dear all,
The NCA has today embarked upon a campaign to galvanise archive users to
write to their MPs with their views about what they think archives should be
doing for them in the 21st century. We would like to enlist your help with
this.
The campaign has two main purposes. The first is to raise the profile of the
Archives Task Force report amongst users and to encourage them to consider
its recommendations, including the case for increased investment. The second
is to raise the profile of archives and that of the Task Force report,
amongst both MPs and the Minister for the Department of Culture, Media and
Sport that originally commissioned the report.
We shall be using posters, leaflets and our website www.ncaonline.org.uk
<http://www.ncaonline.org.uk> as the primary means of generating interest.
We have written to 500 archives and their supporters across the UK to enlist
their help including a sample A5 leaflet and A4 landspace poster. If you do
not receive a letter within the next three days and would like to help,
please email me off list with your mailing address and the number of A5
leaflets, A4 landscape posters and A3 landscape posters you would like.
Please help us to make this a success.
Thanks.
Katie
