Dear Colleague
Are your plans for Explore Your Archive 2014 taking shape?
For the 2014 campaign we’re asking that, if at all possible, you plan something in your archive - an event, an activity, an exhibition, a great story to share with users and the media – for the week beginning 10 November.
We’re planning a national push that week; if we all make a noise at the same time, we stand the best chance of the public hearing us!
It would be really helpful to get an idea of what you’re planning.
If you’ve a few moments, would you send us an email, answering very briefly as many of these questions (see below) as you can?
If details are still really sketchy, don’t worry. Anything you can tell us is helpful. Even, at this stage, if you tell us you’re definitely on board; we will then have your email and can keep in touch.
Our email address is: [log in to unmask]
Remember to keep in touch with the Explore Your Archive page, which has the toolkit and downloads. We will be adding new material from early August:

Thank you very much indeed. Have a great Explore Your Archive 2014 campaign!
