The study examines the codes of ethics of the archival profession in the American Archivists Association, the Canadian Archivists Archives Association, the Australian Archivists Association, the New Zealand Archivists Association, the British and Irish Archivists Association, the International Archivists Council and the Turkish Archivists Association in order to identify similar and different rules, and to offer suggestions about the codes of ethics in the eld of archival studies.
