FIAF Code of Ethics' Revision Project
New deadline to submit your feedback: Thursday 24 November 2022
As presented at the 2022 FIAF Congress in Budapest, the FIAF Executive Committee has undertaken to review the Code of Ethics with a view to updating and enriching it. An initial review with comments was carried out in the Spring by members of the EC together with other archivists who were invited to join this reflection group. The results were presented at Second Century Forum in Budapest and gave rise to fruitful and inspiring exchanges.
As mentioned during the Forum, we wish to engage with the whole community and collect your opinions, expectations and ideas on the different categories which constitute (or may constitute) the Code of Ethics. We would be very grateful if you could take some time to share with us your ideas and/or expectations, and even references to existing documents that could inspire us. We look forward to receiving your input by 31 October. You can choose to keep your submission anonymous if you feel more comfortable that way.
Your feedback will be carefully read and included in the reflection material for the working groups which will be constituted this autumn. If you would like to become an active member of one of these thematic groups (see the categories in the list below), please email us at coe@fiafnet.org, specifying which group you would like to join, and telling us how you could contribute (Please only commit to being actively involved if you think you can devote some hours per month to the project the coming months.)
We will keep you informed of the development of the project, and expect to open a second consultation, probably online, open to all members at the beginning of 2023.
Thank you for your contribution!
Camille Blot-Wellens, FIAF Code of Ethics Revision Project Coordinator
