Inclusive
We will be the Inclusive Archive, conscious of who we are, who we serve, how we work and, as custodians of a collection of international significance, our global role.
Building trust and tearing down barriers to access, participation and understanding. Harnessing talent from diverse backgrounds. Bold, active and outward-looking – encountered by people and communities in unexpected places and at vital moments.
Entrepreneurial
We will be the Entrepreneurial Archive, ever-alert to new possibilities, partnerships and collaborations and adventurous in pursuing them.
Creating and realising value at home and across the globe. Operating flexibly and fearlessly, adept at finding and exploiting commercial, research and philanthropic funding opportunities – opening out and promoting our collection.
Disruptive
We will be the Disruptive Archive, solving problems, moving quickly and moving things forward.
Constantly adapting, rethinking and reshaping our practice to meet our contemporary and future challenges. Developing new skills and exploiting emerging technology, reaffirming and transforming our historic mission for the digital age, from creation to presentation.
