Final report by 31st July 2007.
Background...
- this is the first stage of a project to identify the opportunities for archives to develop their potential to contribute to the tourist economy. This project is being developed by MLA North East in association with Northumberland Tourism, the Area Tourism Partnership for Northumberland. Funding for this first stage has been awarded by the MLA.
Project Purpose...
- to audit existing UK wide research on, and examples of, archives organisations as tourist destinations or where archives organisations or collections are an identifiable part of a tourist offer. It is expected that this will largely be a desk research exercise, collating known and reported examples. Key international examples should also be identified
- to identify the current regional profile of North East archive users at the four County Record Offices from existing data.
Output...
- the outcome of the audit should be presented in a final report detailing the range, nature and type of archive tourist activity identified, draw out any common themes, issues, barriers and opportunities and detail the current user profile of North East county record offices.
