The Society of Archivists' website has undergone a facelift! As part of this work the website has moved to a new server, though the address is still www.archives.org.uk. The SoA's newly-appointed Information Co-Ordinator, Alex Green (The National Archives) has been in touch with representatives of all SoA regions, groups and sub-committees and a smooth transfer of material to the new server took place. The essential features of the new-look website are available. These include: * A more up to date "look and feel" * Existing content from Region and Group pages Once the ongoing work is completed by the end of 2004, the website will be much more user-friendly than the old one: * Private pages will be much easier to find, especially with the sophisticated search facility which allows you to search separately for documents * No technical knowledge will be required to upload new information directly onto the site - thus ensuring that updates can be made in a timely fashion without the need to contact a web editor * A message forum can be used to discuss Society issues with forums available for particular groups and regions. If guidance is needed contact Alex and the team of web editors - David Mackie (Orkney Archives) and Anne Thompson (University of Edinburgh) - via [log in to unmask] For more information about the work on the website, please contact Alex ([log in to unmask]) or the Chair of the Website Sub-Committee, Sarah Stark ([log in to unmask]).
