Case Studies

The Business Archives Surveying Officer undertakes a wide variety of surveys ranging from small family businesses, to large business groups, charities, sports clubs, and membership organisations. These case studies provide a detailed insight into the journey of an archive starting from a survey; further case studies will be added by the Surveying Officer in due course.

The following case study is an example of the journey and wider benefits of an archive survey. This survey was undertaken by the Business Archives Council for a UK professional body and membership organisation, that has its archive now located in Edinburgh.
