Archive Service Accreditation has been through a process of review and refresh since its 10th anniversary, to meet the archive sector’s increasing focus on areas such as inclusion, environmental sustainability and digital preservation delivery, and the evolving requirements of archive audiences. This workshop is designed to support Accredited Archive Services and those considering an application to understand and embed the changes which have been agreed, ahead of implementation for applications in 2026. Updates apply across the Standard, and will require applicants and those renewing the award to think about how their services are changing, and what is guiding change at a time when resource remains constrained and contexts are often challenging. Attendees will become familiar with the programme updates and be supported to see how these apply to archive services of all types and sizes. It will be a chance to reflect on themes emerging within the wider conference, bringing them to bear on your own archive service, its current position and how you would like to develop further.
