The CHA and the archives

Abstract

In mid October the United Church announced that it would re-open its archives in the suburban office building where its central offices are located. The Coalition remained concerned that, without financial support from Victoria and with none of the existing staff making the transition, the quality of service at the archives will inevitably decline. On 31 October it sent another open letter to Ms Sanders and Dr Gooch, re-asserting the public interest in this valuable research centre and urging them to reconsider the possibility of remaining at Victoria with the financial support of a special new fundraising effort. The archives is scheduled to close on 21 December and re-open in early May.
