The number of volunteers working in the archive sector is significant and growing. To meet an increasing call for advice in this area, RedQuadrant <http://www.redquadrant.com/> was commissioned by The National Archives to produce guidance looking at the role volunteers can play in archival cataloguing. The report provides case studies and practical advice and was produced in part, as one of a suite of tools to support archives considering using Manage Your Collections<http://manage-collections.nationalarchives.gov.uk/> to catalogue collections for upload to Discovery<http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archives-sector/advice-and-guidance/managing-your-collection/developing-collections/contributing-to-our-resources/>.
Please read the guidance and tell us what you think:
