This week on the Archives Accreditation discussion we will be discussing two main areas, the eligibility requirements of the scheme and the requirements of the accreditation standard around workforce.
The archives accreditation workstream have spent a great deal of time discussing a set of 5 criterion which archive services would need to meet to be eligible to participate in the the scheme and now seek your views.
These criterion cover:
- The definition of an archive
- The size of the collection
- The provision of access to collections
- Whether purely virtual collections are eligible
- Staffing
To complement this discussion we will also be examining the requirements of the standard relating to workforce issues.
