Newsround: BBC Archives update - Business History New Issue - Organizational history in the press - Upcoming eventsCampaign News - Table of Contents - Management Today and Financial Times - Call for Papers
This week’s catch up features a campaign update regarding the campaign to ensure researcher access to the BBC Written Archives Centre (not looking too good), table of contents for the most recent issue of Business History, and some interesting journalistic takes on organizational history in Management Today and the Financial Times. We close with some forthcoming events and calls for contributions. Contents
BBC Written Archives Centre Campaign UpdateThis is the latest update from the BBC Written Archives Centre Campaign. The BBC has now made clear they have no intention of publishing even a basic list of the 50,000 files released just before Christmas. This is a truly baffling position, especially when there must have been a list made in order to do the release in the first place. The government has published a new strategic vision for archives, commissioned from the National Archives. It is a modest but welcome document, and John Wyver in a recent blog considers how the WAC measures up against this new yardstick. We were pleased to see the Royal Historical Society promote this blog to its followers on Bluesky. As ever, we are happy to hear from you if you need advice on using WAC during these challenging times, or if you just have an idea about how to advance the campaign. Collaborations with concerned organisations are particularly welcome.
