<h3>80 Years of Evolution of a Global Museum Network</h3>
<div class="text">
<p>
Today, ICOM unites more than 60,000 members across 128 National
Committees, 35 International Committees, 7 Regional Alliances, and
22 Affiliated Organisations, making it the largest organisation of
museums and museum professionals around the world. What began as a
small group of dedicated professionals in 1946 has evolved into a
vast global network.
</p>
<p>
From its post-war European and North American foundations, ICOM
progressively expanded into a genuinely global organisation,
shaped by shifting geopolitical contexts, decolonisation
processes, and the growing diversity of museum practices
worldwide. How did we get here? This opening chapter outlines
eight decades of collective endeavour, shaped by the enduring
ideal of fostering international cooperation among museums and
bringing professionals together across geographic and disciplinary
boundaries.

<p>
ICOM entered its first phase of expansion around 1948, growing
from 367 members at its 1st General Conference in France to 2,793
members by 1968, the year of its 8th General Conference in
Germany. The period 1968-1977 aligned with broader processes of
cultural opening and widening access to museum practices following
the events of 1968. The 1980s marked a phase of institutional
consolidation, notably with the adoption in 1986 of the first Code
of Ethics, now a key reference beyond the organisation itself and
continually updated.
</p>
<p>
ICOM's growth reflects both quantitative expansion and qualitative
change. Membership continued to rise during the era of digital
transformation and increasing global interconnectedness, from
14,521 members in 2000 to 27,604 in 2010, reaching 51,302 in 2022.
</p>
<p>
Drawing on archival materials-including congress documents,
photographs, founding texts, early committee reports, and historic
resolutions-this chapter traces key moments in ICOM's history and
highlights the actors who made them possible. Above all, it is a
story of people: committed members, volunteers, and professionals
dedicated to advancing global outreach, cross-border
collaboration, and the exchange of expertise in the museum sector.
</p>
<p>
Across the broader landscape of 20th and 21st centuries
international cultural dialogue, ICOM's history reflects both the
professionalization and democratization of the museum field. This
chapter therefore highlights the major shifts that have shaped its
global community.<br />
We invite you to explore this first chapter and discover how,
indeed, museums have no borders, they have a network.

Officially created in November 1946 in Paris, France, at the
initiative of Chauncey J. Hamlin (USA), the International Council
of Museums (ICOM) was initially anchored between Europe and North
America. The early geography mirrors post-war political stability,
strong museum infrastructures, and existing international
networks. At this stage, ICOM national committees functioned
mainly in industrialised democracies, with limited global reach.
</p>
<p>
Among the fourteen nations represented at the Constitutive
Assembly, only one country was not part of the Western World:
Brazil. However, expanding beyond Europe and North America was
always at the heart of ICOM's ambition, with the goal of welcoming
delegates from every region of the world. As early as 1947,

<h3>
Emergence of new professional fields, reflecting the main interests
of ICOM members
</h3>
<div class="text">
<h4>
Among the first topics discussed within ICOM: conservation and
documentation.
</h4>
<p>
While ICOM has grown geographically, as illustrated above, the
scope and depth of the issues it addresses have expanded as well.
In its early days, ICOM's main topic among members was the
conservation of artworks
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
"Throughout my years at ICOM, the conservation of collections
and, more generally, of cultural property was undoubtedly the
primary activity of the organization and its International
Committee for Conservation."
