Leading the Way

The Archive is a member of the Cornish Archives Network (CAN) run by the Cornwall Record Office (CRO).  Archives from around the county meet 4 times a year to discuss ideas and be updated on the latest information by the CRO who also arrange courses for the group members.
​
As part of their HLF Kresen Kernow project, the CRO has been developing a new accreditation scheme for community archives - The Cornish Archives Network Quality Mark.  The Archive has been among the archives helping CRO to set up the scheme which may be a pilot for more widespread adoption under the aegis of the National Archives, who are represented at CAN meetings. In April 2019 we were the first archive to be awarded the CAN Quality Mark.
