The editorial policy of the review Archivum and its influence on the archival community
André Vanrie
Abstract
ARCHIVUM was born in 1950 in order to be the review of the ICA and has lead its existance principally in the National Archives of France. That means an international review on archives, created in Europe by Europeans in the aim to help the archivists of the whole world by collecting scattered informations and comparing the archival methods of the different countries in order to solve similar problems. In order to analyse the editorial policy of ARCHIVUM, Andre Vanrie has examined the content of the ARCHIVUM volumes during 50 years of its existance: 14 volumes have been dedicated to the Proceedings of the Interantional Congresses, 10 volumes to archival bibliography, 7 volumes to archival legislation, 4 volumes constituted the ever updated international directories, 14 volumes are collections of contributions dedicated to particular themes in the context of international inquiries. The editorial will could be also resumed: to compare the varieties and the slight differences of meaning, to work inside a compared archival science and to create for the whole archival profession practical tools. And a couple of words of the influence of ARCHIVUM : in the opinion of Andre Vanrie, this review could have had an influence on the solution of each of the archival problems because the Journal is present in each country and in its pages one can find articles written in a well known language and dealing with practical subjects in a way accessible to all.
