Archival profession, Ethics, Archival ethics, Ethical codes, Codes of conductAbstract
Standards or codes are one of the most important control tools for any profession. Codes of archival ethics get their importance from the fact that it’s a codified tool for controlling the conduct of archivists and workers in records and information with their various titles. Ethical control for archivists and workers in records and information is an important step towards properly performing the functions of records units and archival entities. The codes of professional ethics are supposed to be a constitution between archivists and users that defines the duties and rights of each party to prevent blackmailing of users or Damage archives. By comparing and analyzing models of codes of archival ethics, it is possible to extract the most important issues that must be focused on when establishing or adopting any ethical code that regulates relationship between archivists and users, and between archivists and workers in related professions.
