As we seek to build up our own archive collection, we will be
actively seeking to collect Peterborough City Council's own records
and those of its predecessors where appropriate. Also records of
organisations, businesses, societies, private institutions,
individuals and activities that are part of the history and life of
the City and fall within the boundaries of our unitary
authority.
We have developed a detailed collecting policy and
guidelines for donators and depositors to indicate what we are
interested in taking in, and any conditions that may apply. If you
have any material suitable for donation or deposit, please contact
the Archives
service team for an informal discussion.
We are developing an Archives Strategy, which looks at where our
service fits into the the City's underlying driver "Growing the
right way for a bigger better Peterborough". It outlines our plans
for the development of the service in areas such as health and well
being, community cohesion, life long learning, and fostering a
sense of pride, identity and belonging.
