Please? Targeting digital capacity support where UK archives most need it is something we always aim for, so if you think we need to refocus (or keep on in the same direction) it would be so helpful to hear from you.
Send us your feedback on The National Archives’ digital capacity building strategy, Our Digital Century, that ends in 2026! Your responses to this survey will help us evaluate the programme and ensure future initiatives meet the sector’s needs: www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/OISX44/

A warning from the past: if there is anything you would like to preserve long-term in good condition, please don't stick tape on it!
As tape deteriorates, it can discolour, become brittle, lose its adhesive strength, and leave a residue stain.
Enough to give an archivist nightmares! 👻
