International Council on Archives Congress

The challenges and changes that archivists and information management professionals face are based on the need to manage, preserve and make accessible our collections be they paper, film, audio visual or digital formats. Join the ICA in Brisbane in 2012 for a congress program that is focused, innovative and interactive. The congress will examine our ‘climate of change’ through the themes:

• Sustainability: Archives recognising archival and information management challenges and working together on strategies to ensure access, preservation, security, and longevity of evidence and information.

• Trust: Archives supporting good governance and accountability, advocating ethical and professional processes, developing standards and gaining international acceptance.

• Identity: Archives helping the community to connect with their heritage, discover their individual stories and protect their rights; strengthening the value, impact and influence of archivists and information managers.
