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. Ongoing curation and maintenance of the thesaurus is now carried out on a voluntary basis by the AIM25 team and by <a href="https://imagiz.com" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">IMAGIZ</a>.</p><p>UKAT is supported by the <a href="http://aim25.com" target="_blank" title="Please note: This link will open in a new browser window">AIM25 charity <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-new-window"></i></a></p> </div> <div class="col-sm-1"></div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <hr class="hidden-lg hidden-md hidden-sm"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 col-xs-4"><h5>Quick Links:</h5><ul class="list-unstyled"><li><a href="thesaurus/">Main UK Thesaurus &rsaquo;</a></li><li><a href="alternative-terms/">Alternative Terms &rsaquo;</a></li><li><a href="rejected/">Rejected Terms &rsaquo;</a></li><li><a href="contact-us/">Contact Us &rsaquo;</a></li></ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="footer-bar-sub"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="pull-left"><p class="small">© Copyright 1997 - 2021 : UKAT - UK Archival Thesaurus</p></div><div class="pull-right"><p class="small"><a href="privacy">Privacy Policy &rsaquo;</a>   <a href="site-map">Site Map &rsaquo;</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </body> </html>
