Primeiro ano do Dia Internacional dos Arquivos
O Conselho Internacional de Arquivos (CIA) instituiu o dia 09 de junho
como a data comemorativa internacional do dia dos Arquivos.
Archivists throughout the world celebrate International Archives Day on
9 June
At its last Annual General Meeting (Québec, November 2007) the voting
members of ICA decided that International Archives Day should be
celebrated on 9 June. It was on this day in 1948 that ICA was founded in
Paris at UNESCO. The first ever International Archives Day is,
therefore, also the 60th anniversary of ICA.
The International Archives Day offers archivists throughout the world a
tremendous opportunity to promote the cause of records and archives in
their country. It can be used to persuade key decision-makers that
effective record-keeping is an essential precondition for good
governance, transparency and accountability; to emphasize the importance
of preserving archives for the collective memory of nations and
societies; and to encourage those members of the public who have never
previously done so to consult archives for the first time. More
generally, it can be used as a means of raising the public profile of
archives and archivists in the media. In countries where there is
currently no national celebration of archives, it provides a powerful
impetus to organize one for the first time. And in those countries which
already have well-established celebrations at other times of year,
International Archives Day offers another chance to reinforce key
messages about the significance of archives.
ICA believes that, as programmes for raising public awareness of
archives are organized simultaneously in an increasing number of
countries, a greater sense of international solidarity will be fostered
among the participants.
In this first year of International Archives Day, events are being
organized in countries as far flung as Japan, Hungary and Senegal.
Please do not hesitate to tell the ICA Secretariat (e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED])
about any celebrations in your own country to mark International
Archives Day. We will publish a summary of all responses that we receive.
