About the survey

The Annual UK Archive Sector Survey asks archive services to provide core data on four areas of activity:

  1. Finance
  2. Workforce & Volunteering
  3. Collections Management
  4. Access & Engagement

This data will help to prove the value of archives, both locally and nationally. It also helps archive services to benchmark their work.

This survey enables sector leadership organisations in each of the four home nations to understand the impact of the archive sector across the UK, to advocate on its behalf to funding bodies and national governments in order to sustain investment in the sector.
