International Archives Day celebrates the work of archivists and the importance of record keeping to culture, history and education. The International Council on Archives describes their work as follows:
"Archives are the documentary by-product of human activity retained for their long-term value.
They are contemporary records created by individuals and organisations as they go about their business and therefore provide a direct window on past events. They can come in a wide range of formats including written, photographic, moving image, sound, digital and analogue. Archives are held by public and private institutions and individuals around the world.
For archives to be of value to society they must be a trusted resource. To achieve this they must have the following qualities:
Authenticity - the record is what it claims to be, created at the time documented, and by the person that the document claims to be created by.
Reliability - they are accurately representing the event, although it will be through the view of the person or organisation creating that document.
Integrity - the content is sufficient to give a coherent picture. Sadly not all archives are complete
Usability - the archive must be in an accessible location and usable condition.
Earthquakes, hurricanes and war, for example, can all render archives useless."
