Records at Risk
The Business Archives Surveying Officer is the Scottish representative for the UK’s Crisis Management Team for Business Records. The team of archivists, records managers, and academics works to preserve business records in cases of liquidations, administrations, takeovers, and other situations where historical records might be at risk of loss.
If you are aware of any instances where business records may be at risk in Scotland, please contact the Surveying Officer.
There have been a number of recent success in Scotland where records deemed to be at risk, have now been saved for the nation. Detailed case studies can be read here.
