Today is #WorldDigitalPreservationDay This year's theme asks the question ‘Why Preserve?’ Due to our remote physical location, digitisation enables the JCNA not only to preserve documents, but also to make them more accessible for researchers around the world.

As today is #askanarchivistday remember that you can always get in touch with the Jane Cameron National Archives team to discover more about Falkland Islands history.

Today we are celebrating Chloe’s win of ‘Record Keeper of the Year 2025’ awarded yesterday by the UK & Ireland Archives & Records Association! A very well-deserved win for our hard-working archivist! @arainternational.bsky.social @araukie.bsky.social @falklandsinuk.bsky.social

The latest edition of the Newsletter is now available on our website with a range of articles including: -The Varied Life of Arthur George Bennett -Website Revamped and Ready for Researchers -Rickles in Time- Peat Records 1916-1193 nationalarchives.gov.fk/about-archiv...
