      • Menu Summary: 

      Archives are the documentary by-product of human activity retained for their long-term value. 

      They are contemporary records created by individuals and organisations as they go about their business and therefore provide a direct window on past events.

    • Who is an archivist?
      • Menu Summary: 

      Being an archivist or record keeper is a fascinating role. There are not many jobs where it can be said that what you do today will matter hundreds of years from now.

      An archivist or record keeper needs a passion for history, an eye for detail and a strong commitment to service. The return is to be a custodian of society's memory.

    • Why archiving?
      • Menu Summary: 

      Archives are witnesses to the past. They provide evidence, explanation and justification both for past actions and current decisions.
