Research underpins everything that we do at The National Archives.
Our Research Vision sets out our plan of action for 2024 – 2027. It outlines our concept of what a researching archive might be: an institution that preserves the past, sustains the future, provides truly equitable access, and which travels beyond its own front doors to engage with the society of which it is part.
Below are pages where you can learn more about our Research Vision. The Vision includes four key themes for our research, a Roadmap for how we will deliver our priorities, and ways to get involved. You can also download the illustrated Research Vision in full.
