The cataloguing of the paper materials from the international IUSSI archive that were transferred to Copenhagen in 2022 is now nearing completion, thanks in large part to scanning of materials by Koos Boomsma himself. The next phase will be to collate all the digital materials, including those from the NW-European section (plus many items from the French and North American sexctions), and identify any gaps. We are currently going through back-issues of Insectes Sociaux to identify any society-relevant information that has not been previously digitized.
We are currently in the process of collating the section archive material, with the aim of digitizing those items that are currently on paper, and making them (or at the very least an index to them) available via the section web site.
The archive has recently been supplemented by relevant materials from Koos Boomsma's collection of material, associated with an office move.
The report of the section archivist for 2023 can be found here.

The paper archive has now been scanned and transferred to a secure server, and awaits a decision on the best way to make it available to members.
