The National Archives (UK) Wants Your Say in What Records They Should Preserve

From the site:

In 1999 we published our first Acquisition Policy which set out 8 collection themes to guide selection of public records. In 2000 this was re-issued together with a Disposition Policy which explained the sort of records which, although worthy of permanent preservation, would be deposited elsewhere and which records, if not selected for TNA or another place of deposit, could nevertheless be presented to another bona fide collecting institution as an alternative to their destruction.

These policies are now being reviewed, and we are inviting comments on the new strategy which can be found in the documents below. We would welcome any views on our strategy for selecting and depositing records, and the contact details to which comments can be sent are included in the Background document. The closing date for comments to be made is 23 February 2007
