We launched ''Your Archives'' in {{tag|FoundedIn2007|2007}}, with the intention of providing an online platform for users to contribute their {{tag|knowledge}} of {{tag|Archives|archival sources}} held by The National Archives and other archives throughout the {{tag|United Kingdom}}.  In that time, over 31,000 people have registered and contributed or updated articles, there are over 21,000 articles and there have been almost 260,000 page edits, there have been over 6 million visits to the site with more than 50 million page views.

However, online technologies have changed rapidly in that time, and the expectations of our users have also changed.  Users expect to see information relating to {{tag|records}} in one place, whether the 'official' {{tag|catalogue}} description or detail added by another user.  While the [[wiki]] format of ''Your Archives'' still very much has its place on the web, it doesn't fit with the seamless user experience that we want to provide.
