Abstract

The establishment of the National Co-operative Archive created for a while a flurry of interest in the preservation of co-operative records, and this interest has re­ appeared in the pages of the Co-operative News. This short paper gives an overview of the major archive created by Ron Roffey, a former Secretary of the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society, together with some reflections on its future. It supplements this survey with additional information concerning other archival activity in the area.
