Dear all,
At the Archives and Records Association Data Standards Group AGM on Thursday 16 June a number of changes were made to the Committee.
Victoria Peters stood down as chair, and James Peters stood down as secretary/treasurer. Bill Stockting, Jane Stevenson and Stephen Scarth all retired from the Committee.
All outgoing members had contributed several years service to the group and are due thanks for all they achieved. Their input will be greatly missed.
Sarah Higgins of Aberystwyth University was elected the new Chair, while Simon Wilson of Hull History Centre was elected to the role of secretary/treasurer. Joining the Committee were Joy Ardill (PRONI), Jenny Bunn (UCL), and Jeremy Leighton John (British Library).
The Data Standards Group will continue to focus on data standards and digital preservation issues to keep abreast of developments, provide a forum for discussion and support and promote best practice. The group meets bi-annually and welcomes any member of ARA who wishes to participate or contribute. More information on the Group's activities can be found at:
