A2A Update, November 2004

Four new projects contribute catalogues to A2A

The November 2004 update to A2A (Access to Archives) has now taken place.
368 catalogues were added to the database - the English strand of the UK
archives network at http://www.a2a.org.uk - which now contains more than
7.2 million catalogue entries, in over 83,000 catalogue files, describing
archives held in 368 record offices, libraries, museums and other
repositories throughout England.

Among the new finding aids were the following (including the first
contributions from four A2A projects):
* A catalogue of title deeds and other papers concerning property in
North
Mimms, Hertfordshire - with some documents relating to property in
Oxfordshire and Berkshire - forming an archive created by the Coningsby
and Sibthorp families, among catalogues of family and estate archives
contributed through the HLF-funded Hidden Talent project at Hertfordshire
Archives and Local Studies; * the summary catalogue of the Carte
manuscripts at the Bodleian Library - consisting of seventeenth-century
state papers and other archives relating to Ireland and England -
contributed through the Religion and Rebellion project, funded by HLF and
led by the History of Parliament Trust; * catalogues of a variety of
archives at Cornwall Record Office and North Devon Record Office,
contributed through the HLF-funded regional South West Access All Areas
project; * catalogues of parish records held by the archives services of
East and West Sussex, contributed through the Sussex Parish Chest
project,
funded by HLF; * and a catalogue of the archives of Pembroke House in
Hackney and its successor Ealing Lunatic Asylum, where servants of the
East India Company could be treated for mental illness during the
nineteenth century, among the records of institutions in Britain
connected
to the East India Company held at the British Library.

As part of the Archives Awareness Campaign, a well-received event for the
public entitled Routes to Roots: Hackney and Beyond was held at Hackney
Museum on 25 October. Children on their half term break and other local
residents found out more about A2A and also about the Community Access to
Archives Project (CAAP) (see
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/part ... ects/caap/), Moving Here
(see http://www.movinghere.org.uk) and other resources promoted by The
National Archives. Staff from Hackney Museum and Hackney Archives
Department were at the event to answer their questions with colleagues
from The National Archives.

Lastly, A2A has now been searched 4.7 million times since launch in 2001,
and there have been 10.8 million catalogue downloads as a result.

A2A is the English strand of the UK archives network; its database at
http://www.a2a.org.uk already contains the electronic equivalent of over
700,000 catalogue pages describing archives held across England in
national, local and specialist repositories and dating from the 700s to
the present day. The A2A programme will make a further 150,000 catalogue
pages available on the web by July 2005.
