Welcome to the ICA Global Research Network

WHAT ARE THE GLOBAL ARCHIVES?

The Global Archives are a ‘library’ of the collective work – presentations, books, memoirs, articles, and publications – authored by colleagues of the The Ecumenical Institute and The Institute of Cultural Affairs. These organizations are dedicated to sharing methods and models that bring depth consciousness and practical tools for participation to organizations and communities. They have contributed to movements for citizen participation, community development, and organization transformation across the world since the early 1960s.

Browse the nine COLLECTIONS of the Institutes’ work and the supporting ICA VALUES. RESOURCES include colleague writings of books, theses, and memoirs as well as publications. The HISTORY is told in four year blocks (from the 1960s until the 1990s) and people who shaped it are represented under MATHEWS LEGACY and the MEMORIALS.
