VP 1949-52; EC 1955-56
In contrast to the above, it may be of interest to note that out of 99 people
recorded as having been elected to serve FIAF in some capacity
between 1938 and 1995, just under one quarter - 23 individuals - have
been elected only to a single term. (This figure excludes those elected for
the first time in 1997, since the length of their service on the EC can not
be predicted.)
OBSERVATION GROUP 2: ‘COMPOSITION’
For the purposes of this group of observations, the 102 individuals from
49 archives in 33 countries (counting Germany as a single country - 34
if the period of a divided Germany is taken into account) who have
served in some capacity or other on the FIAF Executive have been
«weighted» according to the number of years they served. This has generated
a unit of measurement that could be termed the «person-year» -
so that the Cinémathèque Québécoise, which has provided two members
of the Executive over the years (Françoise Jaubert with 2 years service,
and Robert Daudelin with 23) has a weighting of 25 person-years. The
analysis given on the following pages is made on the basis of this weighting.
2A. Composition: Archive representation on the FIAF EC
In the history of FIAF, 49 archives have contributed members to the
Executive. Of this total, 14 archives have contributed 20 or more
‘person-years’ of service - the greatest total by any one archive being
55.
Arranged according to FIAF’s traditional alphabetical listing by city, the
archives that have had staff members on the FIAF Executive between
1938 and 1999 (the end of the current term for the present EC), with
their respective weighting, are listed in Table 2A.
