Hosted by the UK Crisis Management Team in partnership with the ARA Section for Business Records. This session will hear from the UK National Archives about their records at risk support and the UK Crisis Management Team which coordinates responses to records at risk cases in the business archives sector to highlight resources they have available and some recent examples.
We will also have two collection focused case studies:
Penny Hutchins, Head of Archives, Library and Information at the National Army Museum. Penny will discuss the ways in which the National Army Museum supports smaller regimental museums around the UK and a recent example of a records at risk project that led to the transfer of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry (FANY) archive collection from FANY HQ to the National Army Museum.
Jackie Bishop, Project Archivist: Penguin Random House at the University of Reading. Jackie will discuss their Charles Hasler collection, which was donated to University of Reading Special Collections with the support of The National Archives following the closure of the Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture (MODA) in 2024.
