Dear all,
I am currently carrying out research for my dissertation for the Masters in
Archives and Records Management course at Liverpool Uni. I know you have had a
lot of these postings recently so I will keep it short and only ask for a
little information.
I am looking into Archive websites (local authority and university based). A
dissertation written in 1996 showed that only 58 repositories had websites and
now, of course, almost every record repository has one. I would like to know
when repositories set up their websites, so I can see whether this took place
gradually or whether most were set up over the last few years. If possible, I
would also like to know what the reason was for establishing the website
(really whether it was an internal decision or imposed from above).
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who can give me this information about
their repository's website. I will be happy to post a summary of the
conclusions to the list.
Thank you for any help you are able to give.
Heather Boyns
