FFHS-NEWS Archives for the 21st Century was laid before Parliament on 24 November 2009

[News from the Federation of Family History Societies]

The National Archives and the Museums Libraries and Archives Council (MLA)
has welcomed the new government policy on archives - Archives for the 21st
Century - which was laid before Parliament on 24 November 2009. Archives for
the 21st Century is a strategic vision for the archives sector, and is the
first such policy for ten years. Designed to support archive services around
the country - particularly publicly funded services - Archives for the 21st
Century outlines the challenges currently facing the archives sector and
highlights the important contributions that archives can make to local
communities. This policy does not offer a single blueprint for the way
forward, but suggests a range of options that can be applied to short and
long term planning in archives, according to local need and priorities. To
see the final policy document, please visit the website on
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/policy/Aft21C.
