UK National Archives
Andrew Payne
Head of Education & Outreach
The National Archives
Is this the most boring
      page on the
   World Wide Web?
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/our-role.htm
The National Archives is… Essential/Boring?

                                        13
                  Boring
6
Is the world’s greatest
     archive really
       Boring 13 ?
8
The National Archives’ Public Task



Our responsibility is
                 for the government record,
      its past and future, its use and re-use,
    authentic, available and accessible to all




9
Archives have the power to make us think!
Education & Outreach’s Public Task



 To make people say




            WOW!
            Hmmmm – this isn’t what I expected…


11
How can we be
  Essential
and not simply
  Boring 13?
Step 1 – Build a Global Empire




13
Step 2 – Photograph It

                     “Governors to arrange for
                     the taking of photographs
                     of noteworthy buildings
                     and scenery … together
                     with individuals of various
                     races peculiar to the
                     colony.”
                     Right Honourable 2nd Earl Granville
                      Secretary of State for the Colonies
                                                    1859

14
Step 3 – Repeat Step 2 for 120 years to create
35,000 images from around the globe




15
Step 4 – Deposit in The National Archives




16
Step 5 – Add to Flickr and issue a press release
www.flickr.com/photos/nationalarchives/collections/72157632921688592/

18
Mass Media coverage in February 2011
drove 750,000 views




19
20
Does a million views
on Flickr really make
   you Essential?
23
How do you become
 really ‘Essential’?
The Essential Museum

“If satisfying the user‟s
internalized questions
became the main mission
of the museum, it might
then become „essential‟.”


       Elaine Hermann Gurian
       The Essential Museum
                        2006

Editor's Notes

  1. And that is why, with the exec team and the management board, we have defined our public task, very simply and clearly.We will fight for the public record. We’ll be there. In a tough funding environment for information and records management in government. Where departments have a huge volume of information assets to keep. When the archive sector across the country needs our help to ensure that they can meet their obligations to the record. When the public partly depend on us to get access to the transparent government they deserve.Our role is fundamental. We have the credibility to do this. And we have an important part in the government’s transparency agenda, as the front-line service for the public record

  3. A typical example of African-Caribbean people using early photography. The girls are seated at the front appearing demure and ladylike, whilst the boys at the back are standing, one with his hand on his chin and the other looking outwards – the boys have strong masculine poses.
  4. During February 1962 opposition political parties and the TRADES UNION COUNCIL (TUC) MOUNTED STREET DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE BUDGET INTRODUCED BY THE people’s PROGRESSIVE PARTY (PPP) Government led by CHEDDI Jagan’. ‘THESE CULMINATED IN RIOTS, ARSON AND LOOTING ON February 16 1962’.
