UKAD forum 2014: Raising the standard - Finding Archives: standards and data exchange in action

Jonathan Cates introduces the new Discovery Finding Archives
website, cornerstone of The National Archives' role as sector
champion.


The United Kingdom Archives Discovery (UKAD) network is a
collaborative group of archives and other information
professionals, of which The National Archives is part, who are
working towards opening up data in order to promote the use of
archives.


The forum is an opportunity for archivists and information
professionals to hear and share some of the latest thinking
around online access to archives and archives data and share
ideas around making archives more accessible through online
development.


Jonathan Cates is Collections information and systems manager at
The National Archives, integrating resources including the
National Register of Archives (NRA), the ARCHON directory, and
Access to Archives (A2A).
