Featured resources

This is a shortlist of resources which we think are currently particularly useful or informative.

Resources during coronavirus
In these times, local history groups and others may be looking for help and / or new ways to work, and engage. We offer some advice and potential resources that may be of use.
Putting your community archive on the digital map
Whilst the country is in Lockdown people can’t visit their local museums and archives, however that shouldn’t stop people’s content from being seen and shared.
Cataloguing guidelines for community archives
Second Edition (2017) of the Guidelines produced by the Community Archives and Heritage Group (CAHG). We have tried to make the guidance straightforward and user-friendly.
Community archives and GDPR
On 25 May 2018, new data protection legislation will come into force that will affect all organisations, including community archives. Read our guidance.
Digital preservation for community archives
The Community Archives and Heritage Group (CAHG) has developed these guidelines for community archives. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to digital preservation.
Film and videotape and the community archive
These guidelines are designed to encourage you to look for moving image materials, and to look after those you already have.
