The web site of the international council on archives presents many resources and activities related to archival science and records management.
The International Council on Archives (ICA) is a decentralized organisation governed by a General Assembly and administered by an Executive Board. Its branches provide archivists with a regional forum in all parts of the world; its sections bring together archivists and archival institutions interested in particular areas of professional practice; its committees and working groups engage experts in contributing to the solution of specific problems. The ICA Secretariat serves the administrative needs of the organisation; it maintains relations between members and facilitates the interaction of ICA with related bodies and other international organisations.
ICA is the professional organisation for the world archival community, dedicated to promoting the preservation, development, and use of the world's archival heritage.
It brings together national archive administrations, professional associations of archivists, regional and local archives and archives of other organisations as well as individual archivists.
ICA has a global network of more than 1,400 institutional members in 190 countries, making it truly international. It also has over 200 archivists and records managers as individual members.
It is a non-governmental organisation, which means that it maintains an independence from the political process and that its members include public and private archive institutions and individuals.
ICA works closely with inter-governmental organisations such as UNESCO and ICCROM. It also has strong links with other non-governmental organisations.
