Unless action is taken now, much of mankind’s
documentary heritage may vanish - discarded as no longer of relevance
or left to deteriorate beyond recovery. This website explains
what the Endangered Archives Programme is, and how it can help.

threat to archives.
Find out more about the
scope of the Programme.
Grants may
be awarded to individual researchers to identify collections
that can be preserved for fruitful use. The original archives
will be transferred to a safe archival home in their country
of origin, while copies will be deposited at the British Library
for use by scholars worldwide.
The Endangered Archives Programme is generously
sponsored by Arcadia.
If you know of any collections or cultures
that are worthy of investigation, please contact
