The scale of the task faced by a group studying secret documents linked
to the Hillsborough tragedy has been revealed.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel is overseeing the release of
archives held by emergency services, Sheffield City Council and and
other public bodies.
On Tuesday, the panel led by the Bishop of Liverpool, the Right
Reverend James Jones, visited Sheffield to see the documents for the
first time.
Ninety-six Liverpool fans died from a crush at the stadium on 15 April
1989.
The bishop said the archive of around 45,000 boxes of material was
“daunting” in its size but praised the work already done to organise
it.
He said: “The reason we’re doing this is because this is the principal
purpose of the panel, which is to oversee the maximum possible
disclosure of the documents which are contained in the Sheffield
archive.
“This today was our first opportunity of walking through the archive
and seeing the shelves of material – in all some 45,000 boxes here.
It’s a very large archive.
“This is a three-star archive which speaks of the excellence of the
service here.
“It is daunting and that’s when you realise you need a team. There’s no
one person that can do this.”
The panel gathered for the first time in Liverpool last month when it
met representatives of Hillsborough victims’ families.
It will oversee public disclosure of the documents after first letting
the victims’ families know their content.
