What role do places of deposit play in decisions about which public records should be permanently preserved?
The exact nature of the role played by places of deposit may vary depending on local circumstances and the criterion under which the records are being deposited. However, as a general rule places of deposit will be consulted as to the selection criteria to be applied and may play an active role in developing and implementing the criteria. The National Archives is also willing to consider proposals to hold material in a surrogate form instead of preserving the original records.
