The UK National Archives are running an online survey to find out more about the needs of academics and researchers and the ways in which they might work more closely with the academic and scholarly communities, and to help inform the development of their services.If you are an academic, early career researcher, postgraduate student or independent researcher, they would like to hear from you. The survey takes around 10-15 minutes to complete and will cover, amongst other things:

• key changes and challenges in the research and academic landscapes in the next five years
• ways in which The National Archives might support and work more closely with academics, research students, research bodies, and the scholarly community
• perceptions of The National Archives and its role

This project is part of a wider commitment to advancing knowledge through academic liaison and interdisciplinary research, as set out in their four-year business plan, Archives Inspire 2015-19. For more information and to participate in the survey see:
