2.1.3 Appraisal supports records management because, when carried out successfully, it:<br>
* maintains the efficiency of departmental records management systems by limiting their contents to those records which are of continuing value, for business and archival purposes
* ensures that records of long-term or archival value are identified so that provision can be made for their preservation.

For the next twenty years TNA will accession records predominantly in paper form

TNA traditionally assessed the archival value of records with reference both to their provenance (the organisational and functional context in which they were created) and to their content. TNA will in future make an understanding of the functions which produced public records an overt, preliminary stage in appraisal work.

See Appendix 2: appraisal values

What would a digital repository appraisal policy look like?
