We have therefore decided that we should focus our attentions on adding some of the functionality of ''Your Archives'' into the [[Archive.org:20121030152921/http://www.NationalArchives.gov.uk/about/new-catalogue.htm|Discovery]] service, which will soon replace our online Catalogue.  We're currently developing the functionality to enable users to enhance our collection by annotating and tagging our records.  Our intention is to allow users the flexibility to describe records in new ways, while making the distinction between official catalogue descriptions and user-generated content.  Discovery will provide a single platform for users to search and view official and user-generated content seamlessly.

In order to progress with the transition to the Discovery service, we have decided to {{tag|GoalAbandoned|close}} ''Your Archives'' to new users from January 2012.  In addition, content {{tag|ReadOnly|will not be editable}} after September 2012.  We will then prepare the site for preservation on the [http://WebArchive.NationalArchives.gov.uk/*/http://YourArchives.NationalArchives.gov.uk government web archive] – ''Your Archives''' content will be accessible from the archive, but some functionality may not work.  We plan to migrate suitable content into the Discovery service.

Please have a look at the beta version of Discovery, which is up and running at [http://discovery.NationalArchives.gov.uk/ NationalArchives.gov.uk/discovery].  We're making constant improvements to it based on user feedback, so please use it and let us know what you think.  ''Your Archives'' has helped us learn so much from researchers who use our collection, and has helped us realise the importance and value of user {{tag|collaboration}}.  We really do value your past contributions and hope that you will continue to work with us on our exciting new ventures.
