This document provides an overview of Archive Service Accreditation. It discusses the accreditation mission statement which aims to improve the viability and visibility of UK archives. The scheme is supported by several partners and involves a standardized process where archive services apply online and are assessed. If approved, services receive accreditation which is maintained for three years. The document outlines the three modules that make up the accreditation standard: organizational health, collections, and stakeholders. It provides details on the requirements and process for applying. Guidance and support is available to help services work towards accreditation.

Archive Service Accreditation - a new standard for heritage collectionsMelinda Haunton
Talk at Open Culture 2013 with Isabel Wilson of Arts Council England, introducing the new Archive Service Accreditation Standard and discussing its nature and purpose.
How can we collaborate with people to help them build their resilience? Get under the skin of the culture and the lives people live. Identify people’s feelings and experiences of community and understand what people think is shaped by different values and by the environment and infrastructure around them. The future of collaboration could bring many opportunities but people find it more difficult to live and act together than before. How can we help people…and communities build their resilience? Understand people’s different situations and capabilities to develop pathways that help them build resilient relationships. Help people experience and practice change together. Help people grow everyday practices into sustainable projects. Turn people’s everyday motivations into design principles. Support infrastructure that connects different cultures of collaboration. Build relationships with people designing in collaboration for the future…now.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. Accreditation mission statement
“To improve the viability and the visibility
of UK archives”
•Archive services are sustainable, effectively managed,
collections are safe
•Archive services are well recognised, and meet their
communities’ needs
•To do this… archive services plan effectively for future
challenges and developments
3. About the scheme
• A UK-wide partnership to develop and deliver accreditation
• Supported by coalition of partners (ACE, ARA, ARCW, NRS,
PRONI, SCA, TNA, Welsh Government)
• Live scheme is maintained by a governing Committee from the
sector
• Supports ongoing relationships with statutory schemes like
Places of Deposit, Acceptance in Lieu
• Developed through co-creation with the sector and tested through
a pilot with 20 highly varied archive services
• Planning, Performance, Profile, Patronage, Partnerships, People
and Professionalism: what museum accreditation has supported,
according to its applicants: we want all this for archives
4. Understanding the standard
• Three modules:
- 1. Organisational Health
- 2. Collections
- 3. Stakeholders and their experience
• Requirements under each module:
- 1. Mission, governance, planning and resources (premises,
finance and workforce)
- 2. Collections management approach, policies, plans and
procedures for collections (development, information and care)
- 3. Access and engagement with the service’s identified
community
• Requirements are phrased with outcomes: explaining the why as
well as the what
5. Understanding the process
• Eligibility
• Scalability
• Application system (online)
• Guidance and case studies
• Submit responses with supporting documentation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
• Assessment by home nations assessor bodies
• Validation visits in some cases – role of peer review
• 3 annual Panels make awards
• Feedback and ongoing development
6. Understanding how to apply
• Questions
An application form which asks about how the archive service
meets the standard. Largely narrative, following pilot feedback.
Also asks for background information (not assessed).
• Evidence
Documents uploaded to support application and in some cases
shown at validation visits
• Flexibility
Format-blind in most cases. If it fulfils the function effectively for
your service, the name/format is irrelevant.
7. Understanding guidance and
support
• Guidance underpins the standard and application form
• Specific guidance for Accreditation, understanding the Standard
and ways you can respond, referencing related standards
• Scaled guidance, reflecting expectations for different types
• Tools and resources: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/accreditation
• Support available from assessor national bodies – TNA in
England
• Wider guidance for service development, from key bodies (TNA,
ARA, DPC, BL)
• Ongoing development: specialist templates and support
• Case studies: building evidence and examples
11. Module 1: Requirement 1.1 Mission statement
• The words ‘purpose’, ‘vision’ and ‘mission’ are applied variously and
often... Collectively, these terms should describe why a service or body
exists; what/where it aspires to long term; and how it plans to get
there.
• Archives Service Accreditation has chosen to use the word ‘Mission’ to
encapsulate these terms
• For the objectives of Archive Service Accreditation, ‘Mission’ is defined
as: ‘A strategic statement (or series of connected statements)
which defines the purpose and direction of the Archive Service, in
relation to the governing body it serves.’
• Archive Service Accreditation recognises that, in most cases, the
archive service is some way removed from the main business of the
organisation it serves. In these cases, the mission statement may be
defined in different layers and in more than one type of document.
• All stakeholders should be aware of the mission of the archive service
and the mission should direct decision making and activity.
12. Community
• “The concept of a community which the archive service is
constituted to serve. In this specific sense the word ‘community’
does not necessarily refer simply to the population of a political
unit or physical area (e.g. a local authority or town).
• “For many archive services the community will extend beyond the
formal boundaries of its responsible body (government,
educational institution, private or voluntary organisation).
• “The archive will probably serve multiple communities: local,
national and international; different communities of researchers
and of other types of direct and indirect users and of non-users.
• “Different elements of the community may attract different
priorities, types and levels of service. The ‘community’ to be
served is defined through the stated purpose of the archive
service.”
23. Question:
What do you (and your service) most want to
get out of working with Archive Service
Accreditation?
Tell your neighbour!
24. Messaging the benefits
• Group exercise: what messages/benefits
would resonate with your parent
organisation/reporting line?
25. Benefits of working with accreditation
• The developmental angle: Archive Service Accreditation is an
improvement process, not just a badge
• A mark of service quality, recognising the needs of archives
• Reviewing your operation: taking time to step back and think
• Effective, coherent policies and planning support your case to
core and external funders: a bank of evidence
• Requirements scaled to your mission and scope; supporting
quality, professionalism and delivery
• Evidence of external interest in your service: now and in future
• Publicity and celebration opportunities incl press/web coverage
• Peer support and ongoing professional development
• It’s free! Including all support, advice, feedback and advocacy
26. Support to sell the benefits
• Group exercise: who can help to sell the
benefits of Accreditation, and how?
• What can you do alone/in-service?
• What else would help?
• How can HEAP help?
• Accreditation programme?
• Wider sector and related bodies?

Some things have clearly changed in the world since the HMC standard was published, and indeed since it was last extensively reviewed in 2004. Some are obvious – role of digital has been building steadily for decades; expectations around access now go substantially beyond searchroom (but NB we recognise this may not mean public engagement depending on type of archive). There are also new and reviewed standards/guidance – PAS197 Code of Practice for Collections Management has strongly influenced shape and terminology of standard; interaction of PD5454 and PAS198 underpins expectations in collections care – they are about supporting, developing and guiding
Aim is to support development and planning across the UK and across many different types of service
Piloting included many types from large public sector bodies (PRONI, NLW), business archives (Unilever, Network rail), local authority including small and large and multi site (Southwark, Worcs, TWAM, Cumbria, Glamorgan, Falkirk, Angus), universities and specialist (Lothian Health Services, Bowes Museum, MERL/Reading Special, Exeter Cathedral, Presbyterian Historical Society of Ireland)
A standard which sets out the expectation of a strong, sustainable, effective archive service in C21. The standard mirrors museum accreditation and this structure has also been used as the model for ARA’s framework of competencies. Reviewing the work of the service in three key areas
