The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (“Mechanism” or “IRMCT”) requires the services of an expert consultant to support the launch of an online archive catalogue (“Catalogue”). The Mechanism is responsible for the management, including preservation and access, of the archives of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (“ICTR”), the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (“ICTY”), and the Mechanism itself (“The Archives”). The Archives comprise judicial case records, records relating to the judicial process that are not part of the case records, and administrative records, in a variety of media and formats. For intellectual control of the Archives, the Mechanism purchased and implemented an Archival Collection Management System (ACMS) where archival descriptions are created and managed following international standards. To increase public knowledge about, and potential use of, The Archives, the Mechanism aims to launch an online archive catalogue with descriptions of all ICTR and ICTY records, or groups of records, in its custody. Over time, the Catalogue will also include descriptions of the records of the Mechanism itself. The Catalogue will be an online database with a public search interface. The Mechanism requires an expert consultant with experience in, and expertise in, arrangement and description of institutional archives and deployment of online archive catalogues and finding aids to support the launch of the Catalogue.
