ICA Multilingual Archival Terminology
In 2010, the Section for Archival Education and Training (ICA-SAE) of the
ICA embraced the challenge of creating an interactive, online, multilingual
archival terminology resource. The project was led by Luciana Duranti at the
University of British Columbia, and was funded by ICA and InterPARES. It is
now available as a reference tool for professional archivists and
researchers as ICA Multilingual Archival Terminology at:

/ica-multilingual-archival-terminology.html>

ica-multilingual-archival-terminology.html
The languages now available are: Catalan, Chinese, Dutch, English, Finnish,
French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi,
Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Croatian will soon be added. After InterPARES
has added interactive functionalities, the ICA Multilingual Archival
Terminology will offer ICA members the opportunity to add languages, terms
and definitions.
The purpose of the ICA Multilingual Archival Terminology is to support
archivists, records managers and information managers in the use of
records-related terms, from the traditional ones to those related to the
preservation of authentic records in digital systems. Founded on archival,
diplomatic and records and information knowledge, the 320 initial terms
express concepts that are central to both the ICA (many of the terms chosen
appear in existing ICA dictionaries), and the InterPARES project.
As InterPARES is working on the interactive functionalities of the database,
those who are interested in adding languages should contact me at

Ebrew, Ukranian, and Afrikaneer English. The database can support any number
of languages and any character.
