Strategic Framework

The Royal Commission has worked with partners in the Records Coordination Group to renew the Strategic Framework for Records Relating to the Historic Environment of Wales. We work alongside Cadw, the Welsh Archaeological Trusts, the National Trust and Amgueddfa Cymru–National Museum Wales to:

• Provide clear public understanding of historic environment information and where to obtain it.
• Facilitate sharing of information between partners and with the public.
• Foster collaboration on the development of standards and services.

The framework allows us continually to develop the Historic Wales portal as the public access point to partner organisations’ shared data. It also enables each organisation to share its information with the others and sets out the level of access that can be provided to users. It also facilitated the formation of a new Data Standards Group, where our expertise informs and advises the development and implementation of the important standards for records that underpin the entire framework.
