       The International Council of Museums (ICOM) is devoted to the
       promotion and development of museums and the museum profession at
       an international level.  ICOM is associated with UNESCO as a
       Category A nongovernmental organization with consultative status
       to the United Nations' Economic and Social Council.

       ICOM was created in 1946 and has 10,000 members in 120 countries.
       The membership participates in the activities of 93 National
       Committees and 24 International Committees.  Some National
       Committees have also organized on a regional level to reinforce
       their action.

       ICOM-Announce is intended to provide the electronic network
       community with a source of information about ICOM's activities.
       List members will receive announcements about the availability of
       ICOM documents on archive sites on the Internet, as well as
       general news and information about ICOM's scheduled events.

       ICOM-Announce is open for public subscription but is not intended
       for use as a discussion forum.  At the present time, electronic
       discussions about ICOM's activities are conducted on distribution
       lists specific to individual national and international
       committees.
