Undertaken as the result of an International Council on Archives (ICA) recommendation to collect, disseminate, and keep updated a corpus of national standards relevant to records and archives management, this report is based on a survey for a proposed RAMP (Records and Archives Management Programme) study on national standards, the British Standards Institution library's collection of standards, and a questionnaire submitted to all national archives or equivalent institutions in ICA member countries. Following a brief introduction, standards for permanent paper are detailed and a listing of standards is provided for non-archival papers, printing papers, writing papers, papers for typewriters and duplicators, and paper for electrostatic copiers. A summary is also provided of standards for inks for writing, inks for use in fountain pens or dip pens, inks for ballpoint pens and marking pens, typewriter ribbons, stamp pad inks, ink for printing, ink for duplicators, and photocopier images. In addition, a directory of standards by country is provided, including addresses from which copies of standards may be obtained. Survey results indicate that, in general, archives and archival institutions are not major producers of standards. An 11-item bibliography and a listing of 55 RAMP publications and related documents are also provided. (KM)
