The International Council on Archives (ICA) is pleased to announce a new
publication: "The Records of NGOs, Memory... To Be Shared. A Practical
Guide in 60 Questions"
This guide has two main objectives: 1) Raising awareness among
leadership, staff and volunteers of non-governmental organizations
(NGOs) with regard to the value of their records and archives, and 2)
Providing practical advice on how these records should be managed and
preserved. The guide is not written for professional archivists and
records managers and some may find that the advice given here is rather
basic. They would be right, because to give such essential information
is exactly the purpose of this guide.
Please inform the NGOs with which you are in contact about the existence
of this guide. It can be used by any NGO, and in particular by those
that work in the field of solidarity and human rights.
Armelle Le Goff, senior curator at the Historical Centre of the French
National Archives, is the author of this guide, which is an initiative
of the ICA Section of International Organizations. Mr. Koïchiro
Matsuura, Director-General of UNESCO, has written the preface.
The Spanish and Russian versions will soon be published, thanks to the
support of the Archivo General de Colombia and the Open Society Archives
in Budapest. The International Council on Archives is looking for
volunteers to translate it into other languages and for sponsors for the
publishing.
