Agreement between the International Association for Coptic Studies (IACS) and the Société d’archéologie copte (SAC)
1. This agreement completely supersedes the previous agreement between the IACS and the SAC, which was adopted in December 1976.
2. The SAC will make its library and facilities available to members of the IACS, as a research center in Cairo (the “Cairo Center” of the IACS).
3. In support of the Cairo Center, particularly the library, the IACS will contribute to the SAC 10% of the membership fees that are collected each year. This contribution will be calculated on the basis of the IACS Treasurer’s annual report for the preceding year.
4. The IACS will encourage its members to subscribe to the Bulletin de la Société d’archéologie copte, and the SAC will offer its publications (including its Bulletin) to members of the IACS at a discount of 25%.
August 1992
Text of the 1976 agreement between the IACS and the SAC, which was replaced and completely superseded by a new agreement in August 1992.
1. The Société will provide to the Association an office reserved for the use of members of the Association. The Société will make its Library and facilities available to members of the Association as a Research Center when in Cairo. At such times, the Library and the office will be accessible daily beyond the customary office hours.
2. The Association will pay to the Société an amount initially set at $5 from the dues of each of its members in support of the Cairo Center.
3. Each member of the Association will receive without further payment the Bulletin of the Société and other privileges of the Société (except those of voting and holding office).
4. It is hoped that this Agreement will be but the first step toward even closer relations of the Association and the Société.
