The Association of Canadian Archivists, or ACA (established 1975) is a national not-for-profit organization representing over 600 archivists (and those interested in archives and archivists) in Canada. With headquarters in Ottawa, the ACA’s mandate is to provide leadership to the archival profession and to increase an understanding and appreciation of Canada’s archival heritage. The ACA evolved from the Archives Section of the Canadian Historical Association. For many years it held its annual conference together with other scholarly groups as part of the Congress of the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (formerly the "Learneds"). ==Mission== The mission of the ACA is to provide strong and diversified professional leadership and support to the Canadian archival community in the following areas: advocacy; communications; governance; public awareness; and education, research, professional standards and best practices. It does so by: * Providing leadership for everyone engaged in the preservation of Canada's Documentary Heritage * Encouraging awareness of archival activities and developments and the importance of archives to modern society * Advocating the interests and needs of professional archivists before government and other regulatory agencies * Communicating to further the understanding and cooperation amongst members of the Canadian archival system, and other information and culture based professions. * Developing, supporting and delivering initiatives and tools to increase public awareness of archives.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Association of Canadian Archivists」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
