The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act has been broadly welcomed
by contemporary British historians as a means of increasing access
to public records within the thirty-year rule. But the benefits of
this formal commitment to open government are untested, and
experiences in other countries with FOI or Access to Information
legislation have raised a number of shared problems and
concerns.
These problems are common among countries with FOI legislation.
But there has been very little discussion among historians and
archivists internationally about dealing with these issues as well
as reflecting on the benefits of access legislation.
This volume will be the first to compare and reflect upon both
the successes and difficulties of FOI across the world. Written by
an international mixture of senior archivists and historians, it
will appeal across the disciplines of history and archive
studies.
