The Religious Archives Group (RAG) is a voluntary association, founded in 1989, for anybody interested in the collection, preservation and use of religious archives, and personal papers of religious leaders, in the UK. This includes archives created and used by private organisations and individuals and those in public repositories.
We support the archives of all faith communities, including those of secularist organizations. We cover all forms of record, including digital media, which are preserved in the UK and which concern religion or irreligion, even if they relate to foreign countries.
The group aims to advance education, research, scholarship and stewardship by working, separately and collectively with others, to promote awareness of religious archives and enhanced levels of access to them and of collection care.
We maintain a directory of religious archives in the UK and produce guidance on looking after archives. We also host an annual conference.
