Insurance coverage



In November 1999 the following message was posted to the nra list ( a  UK
LIST records managers and archivists.
<snip>
We are currently attempting to obtain sufficient insurance cover to fund an
effective disaster recovery, should hope and prayer fail to avert a disaster
situation. The main obstacle we've encountered is the requirement to provide
our insurance officer with a figure for the value of risk, a ceiling figure
for all costs resulting from a disaster. This presents obvious difficulties.
If your insurance covers all services and equipment necessary to re-establish
your archives service in the event of a disaster, I would appreciate your
comments on how this cover was arranged. Please reply to
huw.pritchard@south-ayrshire.gov.uk. Thanks

In February 2000 the following from Mr. Pritchard was posted to the same list
<snip>
I wish to thank all colleagues who kindly responded to our request for
information about insurance indemnity cover for archives. The replies were
useful and of great assistance to us in successfully negotiating cover for
Ayrshire Archives. We'd be pleased to help any colleagues who intend to
review their insurance cover, or are presently suffering discussions with
insurance officers.

WELL looks like Mr. Pritchard may have some answers. I have contacted him
privately and will post his response to this list when I receive it.
