Get involved
Archive Awareness is an ongoing campaign. Through a series of events throughout the year, it aims to celebrate and uncover the amazing wealth of material contained within archives to a wider audience.
How is AAC being organised?
At the national level: As the leading advocate for archives, and an independent forum for the whole archive community, the NCA is leading the development of Archive Awareness Campaign at the national level. The NCA is being supported by The National Archives and MLA.
At the regional or devolved level: The MLA Partnership are coordinating and promoting activity within their regions. They are acting as a vital communications link between national and local planning. In the home countries, these functions are being performed by the Scottish Council on Archives, Archives and Records Council Wales and by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. For your country or regional contact please see the where to get help section.
At the local level: Individual institutions, their users and supporters will create and promote the AAC events. Locally based events will form the backbone of Archives Awareness Campaign and we need your efforts to make this a real success.
If you are already planning events, please add them to the "What's On" section of the website.
