rECOrd is the first of the new-style local record centres in the North West. National Museums Liverpool will help it to become the main record centre for Cheshire. We began passing our files to them in July 2002. It will take rECOrd at least a year to extract all the data it needs for its operations.
National Museums Liverpool believes this collaboration will assist biodiversity in the region. The database being established by rECOrd will become an integral part of the National Biodiversity Network. It will also help capture and preserve data of scientific and historical value.
National Museums Liverpool looks forward to similar fruitful arrangements with other record centres in the future.
