We are excited to announce that the International Council on Archives has officially joined the global DTI: Digitise. Transform. Inspire. initiative, aimed at transforming the future of archives through digital innovation. This partnership marks a significant step towards accelerating digitisation, improving cross-border access, and fostering international cooperation within the archival sector.
The DTI initiative brings together forward-thinking organisations from across the archival, technological, and cultural sectors to create a world where archival knowledge is fully digitised, openly accessible, and dynamically used to inform, connect, and inspire societies globally.
As a global voice of the archival community, the ICA will be contributing by acting as a strategic advisor, bridging regions and communities, and co-branding events and initiatives that align with our mission in digital preservation, access, and advocacy.
ICA at the DTI Conference: Shaping the Archives of Tomorrow
In September 2025, the ICA will be represented at the Digitise. Transform.

The event, held on 1-2 September 2025 at the Hotel Imperial Riding School in Vienna, brings together key players in the archival and technology sectors, offering a platform to discuss the transformative power of digitisation, AI, and collaboration.
The conference will showcase innovative solutions and best practices, focusing on three pillars: Digitise, Transform, and Inspire. Notably, ICA’s participation highlights the crucial role of international collaboration and the integration of digital tools in enhancing archival practices.
