This issue includes a number of papers that were presented at the ICA Annual Conference in Yaounde, Cameroon in 2018. They address issues such as the role that archives can play in realising sustainable development goals and potential solutions to dealing with the challenges associated with archival heritage that is shared across national boundaries. Many of the articles have a particular focus on archives in Africa. The Yaounde papers are supplemented by a miscellany of articles submitted to Comma in response to an open call for papers. These include articles on managing digital photographic heritage, the utility of standardised archival statistics, developments in international copyright law, and how provincial archives in China are managing the personal archives of famous individuals. The issue also includes an interview with former ICA Secretary-General Charles Kecskeméti.
