National Collections Strategy
The National Collections Strategy was developed with the support of an expert panel of representatives from archival and other relevant bodies. We are very grateful for the support of all colleagues on the panel.
The National Collections Strategy was published in May 2009, following consultation. The panel first convened on 9 July 2008 and met every six months until June 2009. It continued the work of the previous National Collections Strategy Board which met from November 2006 to April 2007.
The terms of reference for the panel were:
- to represent the interests of collecting bodies and other stakeholder organisations and institutions across England and Wales
- to act as advocate for the National Collections Strategy and individual strategies as appropriate
- to agree and prioritise individual collection strategies
- to advise on the membership of strategy steering groups
- to review progress against implementation plans and advise on remedial action where necessary
- to offer informed advice based on expertise, skills and knowledge
The National Collections Strategy was launched at the Society of Archivists' Conference in August 2008, beginning with a three-month consultation asking for feedback on the strategy's vision, aims and principles, along with suggestions for its successful implementation. The consultation formally ended on 30 November 2008 and the report on the consultation was published in February 2009:

Our national framework of collection strategies has evolved out of the aims and principles set out by the National Collections Strategy. Further information is available here.
