概述 > 关于国际档案理事会 – ICA
国际档案理事会（ICA)
档案构成了国家和社会的记忆，塑造了他们的身份，是信息社会的基石。通过提供行动和交易的证据，档案支持管理并奠定个人、组织和国家权利的基础。通过保障公民获取官方信息和了解其历史的权利，档案对于身份认同、民主、问责制和良政至关重要。
鉴于档案的这些重要价值，国际档案理事会（ICA）通过国际合作与分享档案和档案机构管理和组织方面的专业经验、研究和想法，致力于促进各种格式的记录、档案和数据的有效管理和使用，并将其作为人类的文化和证据遗产加以保护。

UNESCO has emphasized the fundamental importance of the archival record. In 2015 the UNESCO General Assembly began its policy paper on documentary heritage stating: “CONSIDERING that documents produced and preserved over time, in all their analogue and digital forms through space and time, constitute the primary means of knowledge creation and expression, having an impact on all areas of humanity’s civilization and further progress…” The ICA with more than 2,000 members in 199 countries and territories, is the primary non-governmental organization coordinating international efforts to give life and meaning to this powerful statement. The strength of the ICA lies in its global network, linking national archives both large and small, professional associations of archivists, regional, local and institutional archives and individuals as a collaborative community for joint action and mutual support. This is a dynamic and fully engaged body, advancing professional practice, training and public awareness. For over 70 years the ICA has been the international advocate for modern record systems and the careful protection of our recorded heritage. The ICA has encouraged dialogue and understanding across cultures, dealing with issues of shared heritage, the integrity of the official record and with the transmission of knowledge across national boundaries and across the generations.
