Since its establishment in 1932, the British Records Association has placed records preservation at the heart of its mission. This year, its annual conference focuses on Records at Risk. What does risk look like for archives in the 21st century? What practical measures can be taken to ensure the continued preservation of records amid financial pressures and rapid technological change? How can funders and wider communities contribute to this effort?
The programme includes insights from academics, funders, and representatives from The National Archives and the British Council. Delegates will gain practical advice drawn from recent projects that have saved significant collections of records at risk, along with an opportunity for informal conversation with funders over tea and coffee.
