Record Display
Good interface design is a complex art, and we know that there are challenges around making the display of archives clear, consistent, attractive and functional.
We are constantly working to improve the Archives Hub website, tools and supporting documentation. In this Feature, we want to tell you a bit about what we have been doing over the last year or so, and what we are planning for 2012.
As always, we'd love to hear from you about what you think, and what you would like to see.

As well as work on the main Hub website, we are constantly innovating; looking for ways to work with archival data to increase the profile and use of archives.
