We will publish details of the Annual UK Archive Sector Survey 2026 soon. Thank you in advance for participating.
Purpose of the survey
The purpose of the Annual UK Archive Sector Survey is to gather evidence to help demonstrate the social and economic importance of archives to funders and stakeholders – locally, regionally, and nationally – and to provide archive services with data to enable them to benchmark their performance.
What’s in it for archives?
- Advocacy – evidence to make the case for your social and economic value in order to sustain investment
- Performance benchmarking – consistent data to compare your archives’ operational context
- Informing strategy – knowing your operational context will support your business planning
- Fundraising – the data can be used as evidence to support funding applications or to express your value with the public
