“Access under review”: Freedom of Information, Data Protection, and the Disappearing Archive
Abstract
While many historians will be familiar with the limitations of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) when trying to obtain access to closed records at the National Archives (TNA), few will be aware that since 2012 thousands of previously open documents have been removed from public access under TNA’s Reclosure Policy.
