Material in this archive is sorted hierarchically into:
- Fonds (collections of documents generally corresponding to the dialogue commissions and other bodies),
- Series (phases of a dialogue),
- Documents (individual titles), and
- Items (digital files associated with a document). There may be many items associated with the same title.
Within each fond or series, documents are also grouped by genre: agreed statements, minutes, study papers, draft texts, press releases, etc…
Additional material pertinent to these dialogue commissions is available in the private papers of the many members and consultors to the dialogue. Some of these papers have been consigned to public archives. Where we have identified the location of such collections, it is noted in the biographical notes. Please inform editor@iarccum.org of any additional collections.
The sponsoring bodies of the international dialogues are the Anglican Communion Office and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. They have approved the opening of the ARCIC archives for material more than 30 years old. Print archival material is available at the Anglican Centre in Rome and at the Lambeth Palace Library. Unpublished items are embargoed 30 years.
