The Secret Archive: What is the significance of FCO’s ‘Migrated Archives’ and ‘Special Collections’?  A conference at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London, on 29 May 2014

This conference will bring together historians, archivists, lawyers, journalists, civil servants and others concerned to examine the background to the long concealment by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of a huge collection of documentation created in the UK and in former British dependencies, and, more importantly, to consider the best means of securing its future survival and release into the public domain.

For further information and registration see: http://events.sas.ac.uk/icws/events/view/15504/, or telephone Olga Jimenez, 020 7862 8871
