The first ever International Archives Day on 9 June 2008

Published: June 10, 2008

In November 2007 the International Council on Archives (ICA) decided that an International Archives Day should be celebrated on 9 June. It was on this date in 1948 that ICA was founded in Paris at UNESCO. The first ever International Archives Day is, therefore, also the 60th anniversary of ICA. For more details see the ICA website.
