In this context, The National Archives has taken steps to develop specific advice and guidance for charity archive services and those charities looking to develop and safeguard their records into the future. In this seminar, I will give an overview of these efforts to date and our plans for the future, building upon the themes expressed in the strategic vision for the archives sector, Archives Unlocked.
