Introduction to archiving

The Campaign for Voluntary Sector Archives has published draft guidance for voluntary organisations.

Primarily aimed at smaller organisations, the guidance, entitled Keeping it simple: Introductory archival guidance for voluntary small organisations, is designed to help manage, store and use archival material.

Based on feedback from voluntary organisations, historians and archivists, the guidance is currently in draft form and the Campaign for Voluntary Sector Archives welcomes feedback on its contents. It will form part of a series of documents offering practical advice to the creators and users of archives of the voluntary sector.
