Workshop: Using UKAT for Subject Indexing 16 June 2004 University of London Computer Centre The UK Archival Thesaurus project (http://www.ukat.org.uk/), supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, is working to create a subject thesaurus for the UK archive sector. This one-day workshop will provide an overview of the project, which is now entering its final phase. The workshop will focus in particular on how archives can use UKAT as a resource for subject indexing, and how archives and archive users can contribute to UKAT's future development.
