Introductory note to accessions 2013 In its annual ‘Accessions to Repositories’ survey The National Archives collects information from over 300 record repositories throughout the British Isles about manuscript accessions received in the previous twelve months. This information is added to the indexes to the National Register of Archives, and it is also edited and used to produce thirty-six thematic digests that are then distributed for publication in a number of learned journals and newsletters.
