A tip of the hat to Ian Wilson, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, recently elected unopposed as President of the International Council on Archives (ICA). The two-year mandate will begin at the end of July 2008, following the ICA 6oth Anniversary Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Mr Wilson takes over at a time of change for ICA, a global network of more than 1,400 institutional members in 190 countries. A new Secretary General for the Council Secretariat in Paris will also take up duties at the same time. More information here.
