National Collections Strategy

The National Collections Strategy is an initiative to identify where the documentary heritage of England and Wales is under-represented or not represented at all in archives and to address the reasons why. 

A consultative panel of representatives from archival and other relevant bodies has been established to oversee the implementation of the National Collections Strategy. 

The panel first convened in July 2008 and meets every six months.  Its terms of reference are:

• to represent the interests of collecting bodies and other stakeholder organisations and institutions across England and Wales
• to act as advocates 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.
