Section for International Engagement

Welcome to the Section for International Engagement.

The Section for International Engagement aims to:

  • Provide an expanded network for members of the association in the UK and Ireland to engage in issues which affect them either as professionals maintaining international collections in the UK and Ireland or those who have an interest in international activities
  • Increase the member offer for overseas members, offering networking opportunities for members in the UK and Ireland to be in contact with colleagues around the world
  • Provide a virtual working environment for colleagues from around the globe to engage in international issues in a UK and Ireland context
  • Provide expert advice to the Member Services portfolio in the awarding of the International Bursaries of ARA
  • Provide articles and news for ARC Magazine – continuing the excellent work of the International Affairs Working Group

International Engagement Bursaries.

Furthermore we aim to support the Archives & Records Association's strategic propositions through the allocation of bursaries for international activities to archivists, records managers and conservators.

The specific ARA strategic propositions supported are the:

  • membership proposition
  • learning and development proposition
  • standards and best practice proposition
  • promotion and advocacy proposition
  • professional cooperation proposition

Association members may apply for bursaries to support:

  • attendance at international conferences
  • training which will assist members in establishing international networks and enable them to take advantage of the global workplace
  • members carrying out international roles
  • international projects

We particularly encourage bursary applications for activities that will benefit Association members as a whole, for example through:

  • international work on best practice or standards
  • learning that will be passed on to other Association members
  • meetings and projects that will have clear benefits for the profession and Association members

Applications must be submitted in advance of the proposed activity. Applications are considered three times a year and deadlines for applications are the end of March, May and November each year.
