Subject: Archive Service Accreditation update and reminder of next application deadline for Archive Service Accreditation

Next deadline for applying for Archive Service Accreditation This is a reminder that for the archive services intending to apply for Archive Service Accreditation the next deadline is 5th April 2018.
Revised documentation for archive services applying for Archive Service Accreditation from April 2018 We're planning to make some changes to the guidance documentation and application form for Archive Service Accreditation and these will affect any archive service making an application for Archive Service Accreditation after 5 April 2018. The revisions reflect both changes regarding the management of born digital records and feedback from archive services and individuals who participated in the light touch review of Archive Service Accreditation led by Elizabeth Oxborrow-Cowan.
There will be further information available about this once the light tough review of the programme is complete and the changes have been approved by the Archive Service Accreditation Committee.  We plan to make available all revised documentation on the Archive Service Accreditation guidance page<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archives-sector/archive-service-accreditation/supporting-guidance/)> in late Spring 2018.
Some of these changes have already been published on our guidance page where a copy of the application form with revised questions about the management of born digital records is available<:/www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/archives/archive-service-accreditation-application-form.pdf>.
Temporary Suspension of online application system for Archive Service Accreditation after 6th April 2018 until mid June 2018 The online application system will close from the 6th April 2018 until June 2018 to allow for any revisions to the online application form.  Archive services that do hold data in the online application form are advised that their data may not copy across at points where there are changes to the online application form and may therefore wish to download a copy of any application data for future reference have they not already done so.
