The RLUK and The National Archives (TNA) collaboration agreement that was signed in summer 2024 has now been published. The agreement continues our joint work under our previous Memorandum of Understanding, and underlines our shared commitment to cross-sector collaboration, driving innovation and workforce development in our sectors, and exploring new ways to engage audiences with our collections and services.

Over the period 2024-2027, RLUK is looking forward to working with TNA on a number of shared challenges and interest areas, such as Collections, EDI, Workforce development, Networks, Digital, Sustainability and environmental impact, as well as Sharing data.

RLUK and TNA also facilitate the TNA-RLUK Professional Fellowship Scheme, which enables staff from both organisations to share experience and insight and to address collective challenges facing research and cultural organisations.

The call for Expressions of interest for the 2025-26 round of the scheme is now open and more information on how to apply can be found here.
