International Archives Week 2023 at Liverpool University Press
To celebrate International Archives Week 2023 Liverpool University Press presents a selection of free to read articles from our archiving journals, including the latest issue of Comma (2021,1) (Editors-in-chief Frans Smit and Bethany Anderson) which has been made free to read throughout June to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the ICA.
This year, it will be the fifth International Archives Week (#IAW2023) and it will be special, since 2023 marks the International Council on Archives’ 75th anniversary. That is why from Monday 5th to Friday 9th June 2023, we will celebrate #75YearsICA of dedicated work to promote the importance of records and archives, and the profession.
The planned activities for this week aim to bring different voices to reflect on the ICA’s history, to open and ignite discussions on its future and vision, and celebrate with a spirit of cooperation the achievements and contributions of those who have helped to create the diverse international professional network that is the ICA.
About the journals:
Published on behalf of the British Records Association, Archives focuses on the needs of archive users (both active and prospective) by providing information about the whereabouts, interpretation and historical significance of records in all media. It publishes essays, commentaries, case studies and reports on all aspects of the care, preservation, accessibility and use of archives.
Comma, International Journal on Archives is the chief serial publication of the International Council on Archives. Content of the journal includes congress and conference proceedings, reports and studies from ICA bodies (branches and sections) and special thematic issues. The common focus of each issue is the research, administration, and development of archives and the archival profession on a worldwide basis.
