EASTICA for the Next Two Years
In order to further the aims of
EASTICA and to promote the development of archival work in the
East Asian region, a work programme covering the next two years
has been devised. Its objectives are as follows:
- To set up an administrative
structure, expand the membership and encourage those
institutions and individuals involved in archives,
information, documentation and related cultural
activities to participate in EASTICA.

and functions of the branch as laid down in the
Constitutions of ICA and of EASTICA, and to carry out
policies and activities as determined by the General

of archival work in the region by various means,
including bilateral and multilateral exchanges of archive
staff, professional visits, expert missions, etc.

exchange archives materials, including microfilm, on a
voluntary basis, so as to enrich the collections of the
region, and to undertake joint initiatives to make copies
of records relating to the history of East Asia which are
preserved outside the region.

archival literature and journals between institutions in
the region.
