Seminar on Freedom of Information and Historians

3 November 2004
Chancellor's Hall, Senate House, University of London, Malet Street

The Freedom of Information Act comes into force on 1 January 2005. This seminar will give historians an opportunity to learn more about the Freedom of Information Act and its potential impact on their work. It will enable long term research trends to be identified and this will help inform decisions about reviewing records for potential release. It will offer the opportunity for historians to express their views about the process whereby records are released and provide them with the latest thinking within government departments.

The seminar is free and numbers are limited so please book as soon as possible. Please indicate which of the afternoon sessions you would like to attend. Please respond directly to Dr Stephen Twigge, The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 4DU, stephen.twigge@nationalarchives.gov.uk .
