The Archive Service Accreditation is the UK wide standard scheme for archive services. Established in 2013 and operated by the National Archives, the scheme is open to any archive service that meets the eligibility criteria.
The standard defines good practice and identifies agreed standards, thereby encouraging and supporting development. It replaces The National Archives' Standard for Record Repositories and its self assessment programme for local authority archives in England and Wales. The scheme offers a badge of external recognition and endorsement of their service.
Archive Service Accreditation is central to the Archives for the 21st Century priority to develop more effective services and increase sustainability within the sector.
The standard defines good practice and identifies agreed standards, thereby encouraging and supporting development. The standard is aligned with other relevant quality assurance schemes, improvement tools and data gathering processes.
Archive Service Accreditation:
- is a UK wide quality standard which offers a benchmark for gauging performance, recognising achievement and driving improvement with the archives sector
- raises the profile of archive services by building confidence and credibility both within the parent organisations and externally, through increased awareness and understanding
- helps archive services adapt and respond to user needs and interests, and develop their workforce
- encourages partnership working within and between organisations, by helping archive services to examine how best to deliver their services
- provides a robust framework for forward planning to improve procedures and policy and reduce organisational risk
- is a badge of external recognition which demonstrates quality services
- encourages professionalism in the archives sector
It is aimed at organisations that hold archive collections, whatever their constitution, and covers both private and public sector archives. It enables archive services to review and develop their policies, plans and procedures against a UK wide standard which has been developed by the archives sector, identifying strengths of the archive service and providing a framework to improve areas of weakness.
Over 20 archives have already been accredited and more are going through the process to be assessed each year. You can use the accreditation to filter a search by selecting it in the Accreditations section of the Search List Filters.
