We are seeking your views on a new strategic vision for the archives sector.
Over the summer, we engaged<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archives-sector/projects-and-programmes/consultation-on-a-new-vision-for-archives/developing-a-future-vision-for-archives/> with users, the archives sector, partners and key stakeholders to develop a new strategic vision for archives. We identified key themes and priorities that we need to address in order to deliver the vision.
A period of consultation has now started - based on your views we want to co-create to an action plan that supports the vision.
The consultation runs from 11 October 2016 to 11 January 2017.
