Recent Private Sector Acquisitions
The National Archives regularly acquires new records (fonds, collections, items) from the private sector — that is, from individuals, businesses and organizations. The following is only a small selection of records acquired in the past three months.
Please note that recent acquisitions will not generally be made available to researchers until they have been brought under control through arrangement and description. Depending on the resources, the size of the acquisition and the backlog of work in the processing areas, it may take from several weeks to several years to make a new acquisition available for consultation and reproduction.
