Update on Discovery developments
The A2A and NRA services will close on 28 October. We are pleased that users have responded positively to their integration into Discovery<http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/>.
Work continues to develop additional functionality in Discovery for the data that was previously held in ARCHON and the MDR these standalone services will close later in the autumn.
Once they have been closed, redirects will be in place and will take users to Discovery.
Archive users can now search, browse and tag 32 million record descriptions through Discovery, our catalogue, making it a unique archival resource for researchers around the world. The value to researchers of combining catalogue and organisational data from across the UK archives sector in one place is enormous, and highlights The National Archives' commitment to its role as sector lead. Discovery now incorporates data from:
* National Register of Archives (NRA)
* Directory of archives (ARCHON)
* Access to Archives (A2A)
* Manorial Documents Register (MDR)
Any questions about redirects or other aspects of these changes can be sent to us at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
