Notas do Editor
- These are the summarised objectives of UKAD. We are meeting regularly to try to pursue these objectives further. Please look out for announcements on archives-nra. We are intending to develop a more established web presence as soon as we can.
- Emphasise the benefits of something like this – the data is accessed via the Hub and via Genesis. Users will not know any difference.
- Just to say that there are still a number of portals or gateways that are subject based or area based. At present we have not really moved forward with cross-searching these, although other initiatives such as the European APENet initiative are looking to provide aggregated searches at quite an ambitious level. (APENet aims to build a gateway to documents and archives in europe). Funding and resources are always the biggest barriers, but there are also issues of providing clear and easy to use interfaces and not over-facing researchers with masses of results.
- Very important development. Talk about exposure to Google.
