This article proposes ethical and social responsibilities for archival institutions to supplement the ethical codes for records management that focus on individual ethical behavior. The methodology is based on case studies, from the author´s long career as professional archivist in administrative and historical archives. The original contributions of this study are ethical and social responsibility proposals from the perspective of archival institutions, not the staff, which could help these institutions extend their ethical code and formulate new strategies to benefit the community.
