An archive scoping report gives you an overview of your collection: its possible future use, as well as content and its physical state.
It identifies any immediate risks and simple, low/no cost solutions.
It gives you options and a roadmap for next steps.
An archive scoping report enables you to make informed decisions about your archives, whether these are in physical or digital form.
Thank you so much, it has been incredibly helpful and I'm looking forward to enacting your recommendations.

What's an archive scoping report for?
Previous Archive Scoping clients have used their report for
- marking important anniversaries
- securing internal and external investment, including National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) and Archives Revealed Cataloguing Grants
- digitising
- disposing of outdated and obsolete records in line with legislation
- transferring collections to better storage
- improving digital archiving and information management
- reducing data protection and copyright risks and improving compliance
- training staff or volunteers
Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
We are very happy with Sarah’s report. She did a brilliant job and her work will prove invaluable in our plans for the archive over the next few years. We are most grateful to [the funder]for making this all possible.

How does it work?
Together, we discuss your requirements for the work and identify any preparatory work. This might include reviewing existing documentation or talking to key people.
I then visit the archive. Depending on size this may take 1-3 days, usually consecutively.
You’ll usually receive your draft report in a couple of weeks. It will be presented in a way that will meet any funder requirements, if applicable. I can present to Boards if needed.
Thank you for the work earlier this year, that has allowed us to move forward and place our collection with [archives]. Now awaiting a cataloguing project!

Need to find funding?
Many clients secure organisational investment to get their report at a time that suits them.
Alternatively, the National Archives Scoping grants scheme may be for you. This is often very competitive, and you must have a collection of public benefit to which you will provide free public access in the future to be eligible. There are usually four application deadlines each year, with decisions notified within 2-3 months.
Why work with Sarah?
Archive Scoping clients in the last 5 years include charities, schools, religious bodies, FTSE-100 companies and other businesses.
