Protection of Local Archives—Notice Specifying Classes of Local Archives That May Not Be Destroyed Unless Prior Approval is Given by the Chief Archivist

Pursuant to section 256 (1) of the Local Government Act 1974, the Chief Archivist hereby gives notice that the classes of local archives specified in the Schedule hereto may not be destroyed by the local authority having custody of them without the prior approval of the Chief Archivist, and without notifying the Chief Archivist of its intention to destroy those archives.

This requirement is in addition to any other requirements that may exist in law for the preservation of the same or other local archives. The present Schedule includes only those classes of local archives, which, in the opinion of the Chief Archivist, are worthy of permanent preservation for administrative, accountability, historical or research reasons.

Unless otherwise stated in specific sections of this notice, and notwithstanding any other legal or evidential requirements, the classes of local archives specified in this notice apply to records regardless of the media on which they are created and stored. It should be noted that the transfer into electronic form of the information contained in any archives does not, in itself, exempt the original document from the requirements of this notice.

If it is intended to maintain archives in microform format only, the local authority must provide assurance to the Chief Archivist that the archives will be maintained in compliance with international standard practice.

Explanatory notes approved by the Chief Archivist to assist with interpreting this notice will be available from National Archives.
