Contact the Archive Sector Leadership team
As part of our leadership role, we support the archives sector with advice and guidance. Find out how you can stay informed about our work and announcements, and who to contact if you have a query.
Meet your Sector Development Manager
There is a member of the Regional and Networks team based in each part of England, supporting archive services of all types in this region. Additionally, these Sector Development Managers support archive services of a particular type, such as business archives, across all of England.
If you haven’t reached out to your Sector Development Manager(s) before, we’d love to hear from you.
