Policies and plans

Our policies help inform the way we operate. As a part of the City of London Corporation, our work is guided by the City's Corporate Plan 2024-29.

We produce detailed policies on key aspects of our archive service.

We have two main groups of policies:

• Policies about the stewardship of our archives, ie our collecting policy, and our conservation and preservation policy
• Policies about access to the archives, ie what we do to provide an archive service and make the information in our care available to the public

All our policies are dated, and most are reviewed at least every two years to keep them up to date. We will try to have the most up-to-date versions available on this page. Please note that more policies will appear on this site as they are drafted and ratified. If you cannot find a matter of policy addressed in the list on this page, please  contact us.

We have carried out an Equalities Impact Assessment of the archive service function we administers on behalf of the City of London Corporation (this document is available to view on request).
