CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The International Association of Law Libraries was founded in 1959 with the purpose
of promoting and supporting the work of Law Libraries and related agencies, in
order to facilitate research and use of their materials on a multinational and
co-operative basis. Its functions and activities have developed to include professional
education and development, by means of annual courses, participation in major
conferences including IFLA, the publication of the International Journal of Legal
Information, and other scholarly publications. It also awards scholarship bursaries
for and makes an annual award for the best legal website.
For a detailed description of the history of the IALL, see: Adolf Sprudzs: Thirty
Five Years of International Co-operation (The Law Librarian Vol 26 no 2 June 1995.)
A list of Presidents of the IALL may also be found on the Association's website: http://www.iall.org/.
CONTENT
Scope and content/abstract: Papers of the International Association of
Law Libraries, consisting of: IALL constitutional documents (1994 - 2002); Annual
General meetings; Annual reports and Accounts; Directors Files (1986 - 1996);
Treasurers files (1979 - 1995); IALL Courses: proceedings and correspondence (1975
- 2005); IALL Messenger (1986 - 1988); IALL Newsletter (1976 - 1979); IALL Bulletin
(1964 - 1971); IJLI (1992 - 1995); IALL Publications correspondence (19973 - 2001);
Directories and lists of members (1986 - 87); IFLA Conference participation (1977
- 1990); Miscellaneous files (1998 - 2001).
The nature of IALL - an international organisation based on a three year term
of office for its officials - means that there was no corporate record keeping
system. Rather each member of the board, and indeed each active member of the
organisation, would maintain their own files which often form a continuous record
of their involvement with the Association, rather than according to the roles
they undertook. The bulk of the archive, therefore, comprises such files. In addition,
there are also publications, printed matter from training events and the brass
logo stamp.
Record types noted within named individual's files include: constitutional documents;
AGM papers; Board Meeting Minutes and related papers; financial records; training
event preparation and administration; and general correspondence. As far as possible,
specific record types within files have been noted in the file level description.
However, researchers interested in a particular topic or period would be advised
to look at all the relevant individuals' files.
ACCESS AND USE
Language/scripts of material: English, German and Swedish.
System of arrangement: Arranged by function and subject matter as given
in Scope and Content. As noted above, the IALL did not have a central record keeping
system and much of this archive comprises individual member's files. This arrangement
has been retained and the files catalogued in series according to the individual
rather than the role.
Conditions governing access: Printed and published material open. Remaining
records open 20 years after last date on file unless otherwise specified (some
records may be closed for reasons of confidentiality or to protect personal privacy;
where this is the case the access conditions are specified in the individual series
description).
Conditions governing reproduction: Copyright remains with IALL. Copyright
declaration form to be completed. Digital photography declaration form to be completed.
Finding aids: Detailed catalogue available at the IALS and as PDF
list for download
ARCHIVAL INFORMATION
Appraisal, destruction and scheduling information: In 2006 the records were appraised
and listed by the IALS Archivist; during this exercise ephemera and duplicate
material were destroyed by agreement with the Librarian as current President of
IALL. Additional material was received and appraised in 2007 - 2008. A Records
Retention policy has been drafted for IALL.
Accruals: Other accruals are expected in order to fill gaps within the existing
series and to continue the series.
Archival history: the records were transferred directly to IALS by officers of
the IALL. The nature of the accruals to this collection indicates that the bulk
of these records were retained by the member's employing institution before being
passed directly to the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies.
Immediate source of acquisition: IALL officers
