The ARP seeks to signpost people to existing resources and associations where possible, but we have also created some bespoke guidance targeted at the charity sector.

Georgina Brewis has written a chapter on ‘Using archives and objects in voluntary action research’ in Researching Voluntary Action – Innovations and Challenges, Edited by Jon Dean and Eddy Hogg (2022, bristoluniversitypress.co.uk)
In June 2017 we published Records Management in Charities: A Toolkit for Improvement in partnership with Charity Finance Group and funded by a UCL Public Policy Grant. It is currently available in the updated format (2019) online or in the original (2017) version as a pdf document to download. We have also created a set of training slides to accompany the toolkit.
We also produced some draft guidance on archiving for voluntary organisations Archiving for Voluntary Organisations – Draft Guidance (March 2017).
