EURBICA operates under the Constitution of the European Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives adopted at its inaugural conference in Florence in 2001. For the time being the presidency of EURBICA is located at the Direction des Archives de France. EURBICA was established to further the aims of ICA and to strengthen co-operation within Europe. EURBICA is responsible for carrying out the policy and programmes of ICA in this region, where these are relevant to EURBICA members.

The Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (ARS) and the Archival Association of Slovenia (AAS) are both members of EURBICA. Slovenia also has a member in the EURBICA Executive Board (Natalija Glažar from the Archives of the Republic of Slovenia (ARS)). EURBICA itself is a member of the International Council on Archives (ICA).
