Our key aims are:</p><ul><li>To improve access to archives by subject</li><li>To ensure that archives' users see relevant and consistent subject searches</li><li>To promote involvement in archives by under-represented archive user groups by providing subject terms which reflect their histories and experiences.</li></ul><p>UKAT was created between June 2003 and August 2004 from subject terms contributed by individual archives, projects and users, as part of a project funded by the <a href="https://www.hlf.org.uk/" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF)</a>, with additional funding, management and support from the <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">The National Archives</a> and <a href="https://london.ac.uk/" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">University of London Computer Centre (ULCC)</a>.</p><p>The initial creation of UKAT was overseen by an advisory panel of archivists together with a group including representatives of family history societies and archive users organisations. Since 2004, <a href="http://www.aim25.com/" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">AIM25 (Archives in London and the M25)</a> has steadily added to the subject thesaurus with the addition of new terms and vocabularies, chosen and validated by archive professionals.
