Culture White Paper
On 23 March the Department for Culture, Media and Sport published the Culture White Paper. The first comprehensive Government strategy for the sector in more than fifty years, it aims to boost access to arts, heritage and culture to help improve social mobility and increase life chances across the country.
The White Paper presents many opportunities for the archives sector, and we are now planning how our initiatives can align with those in the White Paper so as to realise these benefits for archives at local and national levels.

This meeting will allow MAPLE members to learn about the project through a talk with archivist Victoria Hoyle and a tour of the new facility.

In the afternoon there will be the chance to talk about the progress of members projects.

A refreshed strategic vision
Over the coming months we will collaborate with archive professionals, key stakeholders and strategic partners from the cultural, creative and digital sectors, in order to create a new vision for a self-sustaining, highly-skilled and effective archive sector in England.
In 2015, we commissioned an independent review of the progress made since Archives for the 21st Century was published. The independent evaluation confirmed that the policy and subsequent action plans had prompted notable achievements in raising the profile of archives, increasing digital access and developing and delivering effective commercial and cultural partnerships.
The independent review highlighted some of the emerging strategic priorities identified across the sector for the period ahead:
* digital transformation
* financial resilience
* workforce capabilities
* sector leadership
The outcomes of Archives for the 21st Century demonstrated the value and positive impact of government setting a clear policy direction for the sector. The development of a national policy on archives provided a strategic vision which allowed the archive sector to find, and articulate, their place within the cultural and digital economies.
With help from the sector, we will develop a strong strategic vision to support the case for the archives as a vital part of the nation's heritage.
