" This Code of Practice was first drawn up in 1990 by the Standing Conference on Archives and Museums (SCAM) on behalf of its three parent organisations: the Association of Independent Museums, the Museums Association and the Society of Archivists. All three organisations approved the Code.
The Code was offered to museums to give them guidance in administering their archives in accordance with professional standards, and to suggest sources of advice and help. Later in the same year, a Standard for Record Repositories, also providing guidance on the administration of archives, was issued by the Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC). The Code was revised in 1996, and has been further revised in 2002, in response to comments from museums and other users, and taking into account both changing circumstances in the UK heritage sector and new professional literature and standards, including the Standard for Record Repositories.
The Standing Conference would be glad to receive any comments or suggestions from users of this new edition of the Code. These should be sent to the Standing Conference via the Historical Manuscripts Commission (address below).
