The Section on Archives of Literature and Art (SLA) has played an important role in ICA in the past, and was relaunched in 2009 (see the articles in FLASH n°18).
The purpose of the Section is to communicate the cultural value and the magic of literary and artistic archives, and to create a worldwide network of archivists, curators and users.
The Section will share information about the locations and the diverse nature of literary and artistic collections around the world, and will share best practice about cataloguing, storing, exhibiting and promoting these cultural archival treasures.

Steering Committee
A provisional Steering Committee was appointed for the re-formed SLA and served from 2010 to 2011. At the SLA plenary meeting in Toledo in October 2011, a Steering Committee of ten members was elected to serve from 2011 until October 2015, and in 2015 a new Steering Committee of eleven members was duly elected to serve from October 2015 to October 2019. In December 2019, a new steering committee was elected for the period 2020-2024 (this period was later amended to 2021-2025 on account of the pandemic).
