Abstract:

These guidelines are intended to provide assistance to archivists in developing or reforming an association of archivists. The Guidelines begin with general information on government requirements and other points related to the formation and operation of an association including: incorporation, regulations, tax issues, democratic process, multidisciplinary associations, and funding. This is followed by a number of articles that are considered basic for the constitution of an association of archivists. The last section repeats these articles and follows each by examples, printed in italics, which are taken from constitutions of various associations of archivists. A number of entire constitutions are reproduced as an appendix. Constitutional arrangements creating an association will vary considerably to take account of cultural, political, and economic conditions of the country or region in which it will operate. The articles of the constitution which are provided as part of the Guidelines are offered as a model that can be adapted to suit the situation in which the association will operate.
