Hi David
This is definitely an issue which comes up often and is something which we are actively thinking about. We attended early meetings of the SCA Collecting Policy Working Group and have kept abreast of developments. We have most recently been discussing issues around this topic with the Higher Education Archive Programme (HEAP) and recommendations arising from our joint work with RLUK on 'Collecting Drivers for Higher Education Institutions with Archives and Unique and Distinctive Collections': http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/archives/collecting-drivers-for-higher-education-institutions.pdf
We are also actively looking at possible technological solutions in this fast moving arena. Should you wish to have a more in depth chat about this interesting development area please get in touch and I can put you in touch with the appropriate person.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Ladd

An excellent initiative from Scotland!
Why can't TNA launch a similar exercise? I recall suggesting it around two decades ago and I still feel we need a collection map covering specialist rather than geographic areas.
A response from TNA staff would be welcome on the forum.
In a personal capacity,
David Mander

Subject: A Collecting Policy Framework for Scotland's Archives Launch - 5 September 2019 (09:15-11:50), New Register House, Edinburgh
In 2015, Scottish Council on Archives convened a Collecting Policy Working Group to explore issues related to collecting in archives across Scotland.
Following a sectoral consultation, a Collecting Policy Framework has been developed. The purpose of the framework is to encourage the exchange of information and best practice in relation to collecting and collections development.
SCA is pleased to be launching A Collecting Policy Framework for Scotland's Archives on 5 September 2019 (09:15-11:50) at a half-day event featuring varied talks on topics including crowdfunding to open up collections, crisis management for business archives and collecting within the context of university, local authority and national collections. This will be a networking and information sharing opportunity for archive services and any institution collecting archive material.
For further information and to register please visit:
https://www.scottisharchives.org.uk/event/collecting-across-scotland-event/
The SCA Sixth Annual Members Meeting will follow on immediately from this event, running from 12:00-12:30. All SCA members are invited to stay on for it and lunch.
Applications to join the board of SCA trustees are also now open. All SCA members are welcome to stand as trustees. The board meets quarterly to discuss operational matters, strategic direction and issues affecting the sector. Informed by the SCA's charitable purposes, objectives and outcomes, the board oversees projects, considers proposals for new initiatives, agrees the annual budget and represents the organisation on external committees and at a range of events.
Any member interested in becoming a trustee should please email the SCA office at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
All completed nomination papers must be received into the SCA office, electronically or paper, by 17:00 on Tuesday 27 August 2019
Best wishes,
Robert
