> Colleagues,
> On 28 November 2003 The National Archives (TNA) launched a consultation
> exercise on proposals for a new framework of standards. Our intention was
> to develop such a framework in order to inform the inspection and advisory
> services which TNA offers. Responses to the consultation have given strong
> support to our proposal and we are now preparing to pilot-test the
> Framework.
> The consultation period ended on 27 February 2004, and a brief summary of
> responses and action points has been prepared. All responses have been
> considered and have been extremely helpful in steering our development of
> the new framework of standards. Our new framework of standards,
> incorporating suggestions made by consultation respondents, has now been
> drawn together. This framework of standards, as proposed in our
> consultation paper, will inform and support a new TNA standard for records
> repositories, which is currently being prepared by TNA inspection and
> advisory staff.
