ICA List-serv

Welcome to ICA List-serv, the list-serv of the International Council on Archives

This email distribution list aims to provide a venue for pooling information on archival issues internationally and for the discussion of all aspects of archival theory and practice.

It is an ideal way for ICA bodies to distribute information about themselves and their activities, and also to share information between members.

 

The list is, however, not restricted to ICA members alone. It is open to all with an interest in the archival profession, the preservation and promotion of records and archives, and good recordkeeping practices.

 

Please use the list actively and so help ICA maintain and strengthen the flow of high-quality professional information across borders.
