Dear colleagues
On behalf of the International Council on Archives I would like to draw your attention to this year’s celebration of International Archives Day on
9 June 2015 and invite you to join in with this year’s activities.
Join the celebration of International Archives Day 2015 and promote your
archive service!
All around the world archivists will unite on 9th June 2015 to celebrate the
significance and achievements of our profession. Send us a copy of a
document drawn from your collections which shows the locality served by your
archive service; tell us about the image and, if you wish, provide us with a
short message and the web address of your archive. The section for local,
municipal and territorial archives of the International Council on Archives
has prepared a site to display all the images and messages sent to us
In June 2014 the site received 1566845 hits and 15875 visits.
We hope that IAD 2015 will be bigger and better with your help!
To participate, please send a jpeg image (max 800x800 px) of your chosen
document, together with a short description of it in your own language by
2014, why not add a second one for 2015 – the website will accommodate a
growing number of images over the years to come?

We look forward to sharing your treasures with colleagues everywhere in the
world. Happy International Archives Day!
With best wishes
