The Higher Education Archive Programme (HEAP) is part of The National Archives’ continuing programme of engagement and sector support. It is a mixture of strategic and practical work encompassing activity across The National Archives and the wider sector, including guidance and training, pilot projects and advocacy.
One strand of the programme involves facilitating the popular network meetings which cover a wide range of topics and are open to all those working in university archives, libraries and special collections.
To be added to the HEAP mailing list, where you will find out about HEAP activity and receive our monthly bulletin, please contact asl@nationalarchives.gov.uk.
There is also a page facilitated by The National Archives on The Knowledge Hub, a free site, where you can post questions, view presentations of past events and hear about up-coming events. To join please go to The Knowledge Hub and register for HEAP.
You may also want to take a look at the Advocacy toolkit for higher education archives. The Higher Education Archive Programme (HEAP) commissioned consultant Kevin Bolton to develop this toolkit to support HEAP members who are planning or undertaking advocacy work.
