To approve the updated policies for North
Yorkshire Council Archives & Records, for the purpose of
guiding day to day management of the archive and for maintaining
accreditation.
Up to date policies to direct the operation of
Archives & Records team is essential for the maintenance of
national accredited status awarded by Arts Council
England.
Alternative considered was not to respond to
the invitation for renewal of accredited status, however this was
discounted as the North Yorkshire Archive has enjoyed nationally
accredited status for a number of years, which raises the profile
of archive services by building confidence and credibility, through
increased awareness and understanding. Accreditation also helps
archive services focus their work and adapt and respond to user
needs and interests.
