Accreditation is the UK quality standard which recognises good performance in all areas of archive service delivery. Accredited Archive Services ensure the long-term collection, preservation and accessibility of our archive heritage.
Receiving it shows that Suffolk Archives, based at The Hold in Ipswich, has met clearly defined national standards relating to management and resourcing; the care of its unique collections and what the service offers to its entire range of users.
The Archive Service Accreditation Panel said Suffolk Archives was:
“A well-managed service, which runs an effective archive and local studies service from modern premises, including a commendable engagement programme.
“There is a strong understanding of the communities served, and a genuine appetite for co-creation and engagement with new groups. The public facilities at Ipswich are modern and of excellent quality.”
Cllr Nadia Cenci, Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to receive Archive Service Accreditation. This achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our Suffolk Archives team, who work tirelessly to preserve, celebrate and share our county’s rich history. We are incredibly proud of the outstanding service they provide to our communities, and this recognition reflects the high standards, passion and commitment
that underpins the service.”
