In a personal capacity, I commend the SCA for this excellent initiative.
Can we look for a similar survey to be set up by the appropriate bodies for
England and Wales?

Subject: Towards Sharing Collecting Policies
Dear Colleagues,
Following on from consultation with archive services, encouraging the
sharing of information and providing a central information hub for
collecting policies has been highlighted as something the Scottish Council
on Archives can facilitate for the benefit of the sector.
The SCA is now seeking to establish an information hub for collecting
policies across Scotland. We would be grateful if you could complete a brief
survey (http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TDL3E/). This survey should only take
15 minutes or less to complete. You can save and return to your survey if
you are unable to complete it in one sitting. Your participation in the
survey will allow us to coordinate and provide a central hub for this
information.
The survey will also allow us to improve and expand the profiles of services
and their collections on our Archives Map -
http://www.scottisharchives.org.uk/map
The survey will be closed on Friday 14 October 2016 and we hope to provide a
one-stop information hub from the results by the end of the year.
A number of institutions have already submitted copies of their collecting
policies. We would be grateful if you are able to ensure you complete our
survey and to indicate whether or not you consent to your submitted policies
being shared on the SCA website.
If you would like to add your collecting policy and are happy to share it
with others, please email a copy of it to

Thank you very much in advance,
Best wishes,
