The National Archives: the next five years. Report of the first open meetings, and dates of the next meetings

18 August 2006

James Strachan, Director of Public Services and Marketing at The National Archives (TNA), presented A New Vision for The National Archives 2006 - 2011, at public meetings at the Family Records Centre (FRC) on 29 June and at Kew on 30 June. This included our plans to merge with Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) in 2006 and to transfer TNA´s services from the Family Records Centre in Myddelton Street, EC1, to its site at Kew in west London, by 2008.

The report of these meetings has now been published on our website (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/stories/124.htm) and paper copies are available from the Information desks at the FRC or the Kew  Research Enquiries Room.

The next open meetings where these plans will be discussed will be held on:

Thursday 7 September, 11:00, Conference Room A, Kew
Thursday 14 September, 12:00, Meeting Room, FRC

Please come to one of these meetings and give us your feedback on the  plans and particularly on what you would like to see included in the new family history service at Kew. If you cannot attend, please give us your feedback by filling in a Your Views Matter To Us form, or online at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/contact/form/
