The City of Edinburgh Council has just launched today a public consultation exercise on its city archives service and asks for those interested in history, archives or Edinburgh to complete a short 5-8 minute survey online via the below links.

We are hoping to get input on how people want to engage with archives and what people think we should be collecting today for tomorrow. The exercise has four surveys to it:

For individuals,
For Edinburgh based community and local / family history groups,
For Edinburgh based businesses / organisations (as depositors), and
For Edinburgh based archives services.

Please complete any relevant surveys and promote the individuals survey to your visitors, audiences, colleagues and friends using the #edinburghremembers hashtag. We are trying to reach as many people as possible through that particular survey – they do not have to be Edinburgh based to respond.

Our Consultation Survey Page is: http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/archivesurvey
Our Facebook Page is: https://www.facebook.com/Edinburgh-City-Archives-866641726707773/

The exercise finishes on Friday 26 October and we will then submit a report to our Culture & Communities Committee with an archives development plan based on the findings. Please send any questions about the exercise to [log in to unmask]. You can request a paper copy of the individual survey through that same email address or via phone on 0131 529 4616.

Yours sincerely,

Henry Sullivan
