In 2015 the National Archives, in collaboration with History UK, published a ‘Guide to Collaboration between the archive and higher education sectors’. Since its publication there have been a number of developments across both sectors, so following consultations and desk-based research in 2018 the guidance has been refreshed. The revised guidance is aimed at those considering collaboration and those who wish to develop their collaborative practice further. It covers:
- Types of collaboration
- Forming a collaboration
- Developing collaborative working
- Recording activities and capturing impact
- Successful collaboration advice
In June 2018 a pilot workshop to introduce the guidance and support networking between archive staff and academics took place. Following on from the pilot’s success TNA, History UK, and MALD have collaborated on taking the workshop around England and Wales. It will be delivered in seven venues across the two nations.

This one-day workshop will introduce the revised guidance highlighting key areas of change. It will also explore practical ways to identify, develop, and sustain cross-sector collaborations.
