This document provides a statement of ethical principles grouped around the basic archival tasks of acquisition, processing and preservation, and providing access. It includes references to other related ethics documents as well as relevant IASA publications.
What sets this code of ethics apart from those from national and international archive organisations is its focus on “roles” particularly relevant to audiovisual collections (such as recordist, performer and technician). It can be useful for inclusion in mission statement and general practice documents.
