Community Access to Archives Project (CAAP) The Community Access to Archives Project (CAAP) was a one-year pilot project that ran from November 2003 to October 2004. It was led and funded by TNA, in partnership with West Yorkshire Archives Service, Hackney Archives Department, Commanet (´the community archives network'), the National Archives of Scotland, the National Council on Archives, the National Library of Wales, and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. Building on the experience that our partners in West Yorkshire and Hackney were developing, CAAP investigated best practice in the area of community-archive relations, with a particular emphasis on online community archive projects.
Listening to the Past, Speaking to the Future, Report of the Archives Task Force The Archives Task force Report commended “the ability of Commanet projects to give a new slant to local heritage and bring people together.” Several of the Report’s recommendations relate to the development of community archives and the need for archive and public record services to engage with this new aspect of their work. Commanet is working closely with the archive community to implement the Report’s recommendations. |
