Professional Engagement

In May 2023, the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund welcomed information professionals from around the world for the 48th Annual Meeting of the International Council of Archives’ (ICA) Section of International Organisations (SIO).

Our Records and Information Management (RIM) regional coordinators have led workshops, trainings and roadshows around the world to promote the WBG Records Management Roadmap.

At the 2022 International Council of Archives (ICA) conference, World Bank Group archivists presented on the "Archival Video Appraiser", a Machine Learning tool developed by the Archives and our IT counterparts to help with the appraisal of our collection of video recordings. 

To mark the 75th anniversary of the Bretton Woods Conference, the World Bank Group Archives organized and participated in a number of commemorative events.
