A Report on the Use of Archaeological Material Archives in Research in England (2010–2020)
Author(s): University Archaeology UK
Archaeological archives are vital resources for research, museum displays, interpretations of our past and as materials for education. This report is a rapid quantification and analysis of the different types of archaeological material archives currently being used in England by PhD researchers and research projects (such as those funded by UKRI and other bodies) in the period 2010–2020/1. This project is part of a wider survey of the use of museum archaeology collections as part of Historic England’s Future for Archaeological Archives Programme (https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/news/new-plan-englands-archaeology-archives-challenge/); set up to fulfil the recommendations made to DCMS in response to the Mendoza review of museums in England.
