Second Century Forum – The FIAF Code of Ethics Revisited
The Code of Ethics is FIAF’s core statement on the ethical principles governing our work and the personal conduct of individuals working in FIAF institutions. To strengthen this central document, we want to review the existing Code of Ethics and reflect on its validity in the new technological and geopolitical framework of the 2020s. A second important aspect is the implementation of the Code in our everyday practice in FIAF institutions. We aspire to approach our Code of Ethics not as a “necessary formality”, an aspirational document, or a rule book, but as a platform for reflection, negotiation, dialogue, selfcriticism, and evaluation. In 2021 a group of FIAF colleagues commenced a discussion about potential amendments and changes to the Code of Ethics. In this session we want to discuss some of our findings, and present and discuss examples from other codes or policies from museums, libraries, or collecting institutions that may inspire an update of our document. The outcome of the Second Century Forum discussion in Budapest can then lead to a revision of the Code of Ethics to be voted on at the 2023 Congress.
