Our Content Provider the UK National Archives, together with the Business Archives Council, the Business Archives Council of Scotland, and with the support of the British Records Association in memory of Professor Michael S Moss, have organised a conference on surveying. As surveying remains a universally useful tool for all archivists, this conference aims to explore the different ways in which surveying can contribute to the general collecting function of an archive, and can also ensure that the heritage of an organisation, region or nation is appropriately reflected in its archival collections.

The conference will take place on the 27th and 28th April 2022, online – registration via Eventbrite:
