The Congress Programme Committee reminds you that the Call for Papers centered around the theme “Knowing Pasts, Creating Futures.” is still open for the International Archives Congress – ICA Barcelona 2025, which will take place from 27-30 October 2025 in Barcelona. This is a unique opportunity to share your insights and experiences as we collectively shape the future of our profession! 

The Congress programme is structured around five interconnected subthemes that reflect the current challenges and opportunities in the archival field: 
  1. Managing Memories / Preserving Identities 
To navigate the uncertainties of the future, humanity must not forget its past. In this context, archives are essential instruments of society, which is expressed through traditional communication channels and others that are constantly evolving.  
  1. Conflict, Disaster, and Displacement 
Around the world there are episodes of forced displacement, displaced people and emergent movements whose memory and that of the reception spaces are important to preserve.  
  1. Records of Rights 
Archives guarantee personal and collective rights by providing access to our memory through heritage management. Document management ensures better access to documents, greater transparency and good governance of public administrations. 
  1. Digital and Accessible 
Within digital society, archives are digitising the past, present, and future. As a result, both digital humanities and artificial intelligence projects focus on documents, from all time periods. However, these strategies differ significantly from traditional models of knowledge transfer, often involving the direct construction of knowledge from information.  
  1. Archival Futures 
The training of archive professionals is crucial in shaping the future of the profession. With new societal challenges and developments in the field, it is time for an in-depth debate on the functions of professionals, their expertise, professional skills, and areas of specialisation. 

Proposals may fall into any of the following five types of sessions: 
  • Paper Presentation 
  • Co-Lab Session 
  • Lightning Talks 
  • Panel Discussion 
  • Poster 

Submission Guidelines  
  • Languages: Papers may be submitted in Catalan, Spanish, English, or French.  
  • Deadline: Complete your application by Thursday, 16 January 2025 (23:59:59 CET). Presenters will be notified of acceptance by the end of April 2025. All submissions must be made via ConfTool.
