This website is run by the British Academy Research Project ‘Archiving the Mixed Economy of Welfare’ a collaborative, interdisciplinary project that promotes the preservation and use of the archives and records of charities, NGOs, voluntary and community organisations.  These  are increasingly vulnerable in a period of austerity. We see the such archives and records as strategic assets for governance, corporate identity, accountability and research.
