1 Background and general description of archives/ records program:
From 1996 UK's first masters programme devoted exclusively to records management and delivered by distance learning following the initial development in 1993 of the campus-based Masters in Information and Records Management. The School also provides an Advanced Diploma in Lifelong Learning (LLA) (Records Management) developed initially for staff at the BBC and which has just enrolled its third cohort which operates alongside the National Vocational Qualifications Assessment centre offering Records NVQs. First and still the only UK school which teaches records management from the perspective or information rather than archives management. Also in partnership with Liverpool University Centre for Archive Studies to deliver an award to staff in Public Record Office and government departments
