ICA is the voice of archives on the world stage. Its actions are based on several defining documents that explain the purpose of both the association and the archive and records management profession.
We recommend that you read the internationally adopted Universal Declaration on Archives, which details the key role of archives and archivists in our societies, the Code of Ethics, which describes the principles underlying the work of all ICA members or the speech given at CITRA by Archbishop Desmond Tutu in 2003.
You can also find out more about how the ICA operates through documents such as the Constitution, the Internal Regulations or our latest Annual Reports.
These documents, and many more, are available for consultation and may be downloaded from this website.
