Four priority areas were identified for 2004-2008. They are represented on the Programme Commission by four prominent leaders in the international archival community:
1. Advocacy and Promotion (Leader: Andreas Kellerhals, Swiss Federal Archives, e-mail: andreas.kellerhals [at] bar [dot] admin [dot] ch);
2. Electronic Records and Automation (Leader: George MacKenzie, National Archives of Scotland, e-mail: george.mackenzie [at] nas [dot] gov [dot] uk);
3. Preservation and Disaster Preparedness (Leader: Ivan Murambiwa, National Archives of Zimbabwe, e-mail: nat.archives [at] gta [dot] gov [dot] zw); and
4. Professional Education and Training (Leader: Nolda Römer-Kenepa, National Archives of the Netherlands Antilles, e-mail: nrom [at] cura [dot] net)
The General Assembly at Vienna in 2004 adopted Strategies and Priority Areas. This document can be downloaded.
ICA actively encourages members to propose new projects. You can do this in a number of ways, for example:
ICA's participation can make a significant contribution to the success of any initiative. It can provide:
In addition, by working with ICA you will know you are working with the majority of archives and archivists in the world community, for the mutual benefit of all.

Project Description:
The focus of the project is the development of an online database, available over the Internet, of the main archival and information legislation in all European countries. Relevant directives and regulations of the European Commission will also be included. The database will comprise basic geopolitical information for each country (population, languages, government and administration), a brief overview of the archival system, the texts of the legislation in the official language, and a bibliography. It is intended to add translations of the texts in English and French in due course. Searchers will have the possibility of using a set of index terms, in English or French, and/or free text searches in order to retrieve material that is of interest of them.
Scope:
The pilot project covered eight European countries. The full project will cover all countries in the European Union and also those that can be considered a part of geographical Europe. In the longer term, it is envisaged that countries outside Europe might want to add details to the database and build up an international resource for archival legislation throughout the world.
Objectives:
1) To enable archivists and other information professionals to find details about legislation that is relevant to their daily work as quickly as possible
2) To enable archivists and other information professionals to make comparisons between different national legislation and to find out the most up-to-date legislation relating to different aspects of archival management (for example, access to information and data protection
3) To enable researchers of all kinds to establish the main provisions of archival legislation in a given country
Target Audience:
Given its current scope, the project is intended to serve all archive and information professionals in Europe.
