Officers of the Research Archives Section (chairpersons, secretaries) are elected within the committee. The committees exclusively decide on the objects and tasks they deal with.

The Research Archives Section concerns itself with special issues relating to audiovisual archives whose holdings include collections of recordings originally made for research purposes.


Mission statement

The Research Archives Section of IASA addresses issues of sound and audiovisual archives whose holdings include collections of unique and usually non-commercial recordings, such as field recordings, curated primarily for research purposes. Research archives share key concerns with other types of sound and audiovisual archives that include preservation, access, acquisition, collection management, documentation, ethics and intellectual property rights. However, the nature of research archive holdings requires strategies and solutions that may diverge from archives whose holdings are primarily broadcast or commercial in scope. Thus, the Research Archives Section promotes discussion, cooperation and coordination of activities among sound and audiovisual research archives, holdings, and collections to support their growth, development, and success in countries all over the world.
