IASA Research Archive Section Meeting
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. The meetings of the Research Archive Section include possibilities for its members to share information on ongoing projects as well as discuss common issues with colleagues from all over the world. The Research Archive Section invites its members to meetings twice a year, at the annual conference as well as an online meeting in between.

At every meeting, the Research Archive Section invites lecturers on topics of relevance to archivists and researchers working with audiovisual collections at research archives. The topic of this years meeting will be “Rescuing Sámi Voices from Wax: Czech–Swedish Collaboration in Preserving the Karl Tirén Joik Collection“; a report on an ongoing collaboration project between Svenskt visarkiv (The Centre for Swedish Folk music and Jazz Research) in Stockholm and the Sound lab at the National Museum in Prague. With the expertise in sound preservation from phonograph cylinders at the Sound Lab at the National Museum of Prague, the project aims to digitize broken and damaged phonograph cylinders of the Karl Tirén Collection of Sámi Joik held at Svenskt visarkivs and recently added to the
UNESCO Memory of the World List. The invited speakers will be Wictor Johansson (Svenskt visarkiv, Stockholm), Filip Sir and Geoff Tyson (National Museum, Prague).

IASA Discography Committee Meeting
Wednesday October 21, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm EEST
The IASA Discography Committee invites you to attend our open meeting at the annual conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. This in-person meeting will also offer an online option for IASA members who are unable to attend the conference. The Zoom link to attend virtually appears below.

In the past our committee has been active in creating the International Bibliography of Discographies, and in developing the IASA guidelines for National Discography. We are currently working with the ARSC Discography Committee (Association for Recorded Sound Collections) and others to develop a universal discographic database (UDD), a
peer-reviewed resource for research into historical sound recordings. At this conference meeting we’ll provide an overview of the UDD project proposal and allow time for attendees to give updates about their own projects. We’ll also hold an election for committee officers.

IASA DEI Committee Meeting
Wednesday October 21, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm EEST
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is pleased to hold its 2026 meeting in Vilnius, welcoming both in-person and online participation from committee members (existing and new) and anyone from the IASA organisation or conference community.

This meeting addresses the practical work of the committee - strengthening equitable and inclusive practices within the organisation, and pro-actively supporting the diverse contributions and perspectives that shape the organisation and its networks of practice in the field. This work concerns all activities and practices within IASA, while also looking outward to the diverse contexts of real-world practice in the wider audiovisual archiving field.

We encourage attendees to share current concerns and forward-looking ideas during the meeting, to inform the planning of activities and strategies for 2026-2028. This process itself supports the organization’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In line with the work of the committee, we welcome input from IASA’s varied communities, networks and areas of practice.
