Records at Risk

The following resources and guidance on records surveying and risk monitoring have been brought together as part of the Archives and Records Council Wales Records at Risk project funded by The National Archives Covid-19 Archives Fund.

The guidance is organised into two key strands. The first (‘Identifying and Rescuing Archives and Records at Risk’) provides information about identifying and rescuing archives and records at risk among insolvent companies. It includes guidance created on behalf of ARCW as part of the Records at Risk project itself, as well as resources from external partners such as the Crisis Management Team.

The second (‘Records Surveying Resources’) includes guidance on how to conduct remote surveys of records-keeping among external organisations such as charities and businesses, with links to additional external resources about records surveying more broadly.
