#EmpoweringArchives

#EmpoweringArchives / #EmpoderarLosArchivos / #RenforcerLesArchives  

#EmpoweringArchives builds on ICA’s Strategic Plan ‘Empowering Archives and the Profession 2021-2024’ released in November 2020 and it also plays on the ICA Abu Dhabi Congress theme of #EmpoweringKnowledgeSocieties.   

There three areas to these events: 

1. Accountability and Transparency 
2. Collaboration and Networking 
3. Diversity and Inclusivity 

For this second ICA Social Media Campaign, we are inviting the records and archives community to reflect on: 

• How archives empower accountability and transparency, through access to information for holding governments to account and ensuring that citizens can protect their rights.  
• How networking and collaboration enable us to empower archives and the profession to help us achieve our goals and objectives for the profession and our institutions through the support of allied professions while helping other sectors and the general public understand what we do. 
• And how to challenge current archival theory and practice to make it more diverse and inclusive of different voices along with different histories.
