The Nationaal Archief today and in five years’ time, 'By tomorrow, today will be history'
In 5 years’ time, in 2013, the Nationaal Archief will comprise of a physical archive and a digital archive: www.nationaalarchief.nl. At our own premises, the national heritage will be stored safely and expertly on traditional carriers (paper, parchment, celluloid, etc.). In the electronic Nationaal Archief, information will be safely and expertly stored in digital form, and fast access will be provided to the original archives.
There will be a differentiated range of services, ranging from perceptions of the past (exhibitions, lectures, debates, workshops, theme sites, publications, etc.) to active research (image database, educational projects, supervised research, seminars, etc.). The path to realizing this goal is set out in a vision document and refined into six main strands:
- Safeguarding, disseminating and increasing knowledge about our unique collection.
- From ‘Informatie op Orde’ to ‘Informatie Actief Openbaar’.
- Platform for digital government.
- Provision of an archives service on site and on line for a wide public.
- Strengthening of the knowledge function for the national and international archiving world.
- A new structure for an ‘enterprising service’.
When this vision has been discussed with stakeholders, the plan will be developed in the policy plan for 2010–2013 and in a transition plan for the organisation.
