Welcome to The British Records
Association
Founded in 1932, the British Records Association aims to encourage and assist with the preservation, care, use and publication of historical records
Records hold the nation's memory; they reveal how we became what we are and they are our best guide to the future. The BRA seeks to add to our understanding of records, to advise on their custody and care and to direct 'homeless' documents to the most appropriate repository
The BRA's main function is to rescue documents in danger of loss or destruction. We are open to anyone interested in records, including amateur users as well as professionals, owners of collections large and small and archivists, librarians and others with records in their care.
