Third International Archives Week will take place from 7 to 11 June 2021

From 7 to 11 June 2021, the world archival community will celebrate the Third International Archives Week with the theme “Empowering Archives”.

The International Council on Archives (ICA) invites professionals from archival institutions and services to participate in the celebration and join a virtual conversation by using the hashtags #EmpoweringArchives and #IAW2021 for social media posts to discuss with colleagues current professional issues and challenges, including: how archives expand access to documentary information in order to realise citizens’ rights; how networking and collaboration can enhance the professional capacity of archives and archivists; and how to make current archival theory and practice more diverse.
