Muzea, Archiwa i Biblioteki Polskie na Zachodzie

Stała Konferencja Muzeów, Archiwów i Bibliotek Polskich na Zachodzie zrzesza organizacje kultury polskie: muzea, archiwa i bilioteki. Zainicjowana w roku 1977 w Raperswilu przez 3 instytucje o charakterze muzealnym działajace na emigracji, w 1981 roku miała juz 10 członków. Od początku pomyślana była jako luźne stowarzyszenie instytucji członkowskich, bez władz naczelnych i formalej struktury.

Głównym wyrazem jej działalności jest organizowanie corocznych sesji plenarnych, jak również ułatwianie wymiany doświaczeń pomiędzy instytucjami członkowskimi i podejmowanie wspólnych inicjatyw. Stała konferencja stawia sobie za cel koordynację działalności instytucji członkowskich, otaczających swoją troska dorobek i rozwój kultury polskiej oraz prezentujący wolnemu światu jej bogactwo i nierozerwalność z humanistyczną kulturą europejską.
