International Council of Archives

Donors play a vital role in providing resource for the ICA to deliver its vision across the globe. As a Donor you directly contribute the survival of the world's archival heritage. In doing so you enable people around the world to establish their identity, uphold democracy, protect their human rights, undertake all manner of research and experience meaningful education. As an ICA Donor you receive public acknowledgement of your support for developing a democratic and humanitarian world, support which you can provide in the way that best suits you.

Here's how ICA Donors can get involved, either by providing funding or by becoming an active partner:

• Subscribe to the ICA vision to promote the preservation and use of archives around the world;

• Participate in the Programme for Good Governance;
• Assist in recovery work  after disasters;
• Facilitate establishment of infrastructure to preserve archival memory;
• Sustain programmes which enable open access for all to  information;
• Donate to FIDA (International Fund for Archival Development)

A key mechanism for donor involvement is FIDA, the International Archival Development Fund. FIDA seeks to enable the development and use of archive collections as well as developing international relations between interested parties. Thanks to donors' financial contributions, FIDA has been able to support a range of new initiatives, particularly training programmes in less developed countries.

Donation is a simple and effective way to get involved in the ICA and make a difference.  Download the FIDA Donation form attached below and contribute to the development of the archives in the world!
