This publication demonstrates what we have achieved during 2008-2009 and expresses our vision for the future.  It also includes detailed financial information for the whole organisation, showing how we use and invest the funding allocated to us.

In a very busy and successful year, we realised a number of key projects and launched a range of new initiatives.  The report highlights our key achievements in 2008-2009 - these include:

• publishing the 1911 Census online, in partnership with findmypast.com
• releasing over 5,000 government records from 1978 to the public
• making more of our most popular records available online through licensed partnerships
• creating and enhancing a range of highly-praised educational resources online - including our Cabinet Papers, 1915-1978 web service, which makes these key primary source materials more accessible than ever before
• establishing a Public Sector Information Unlocking Service to help individuals, community groups and businesses re-use official information more effectively
• launching a programme to effectively capture and archive UK government websites
• developing and launching a proposed new government policy on archives for the 21st century in partnership with the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and CyMAL (Museums, Archives and Libraries Wales)
• welcoming the team responsible for the Statute Law Database to The National Archives - a move that consolidates all of government's resources in publishing legislation within our organisation.
