Resumen
The aims that led to the birth of the IASSW (1928) are realising an exchange of opinions and experiences between schools of social work from all over the world, fostering their cooperation and promoting international courses of study. The desire to guarantee - at a global level - an education in line with the values of social work led to the elaboration, together with the IFSW, of the Global Standards for Social Work Teaching and Training. This contribution analyses, with a diachronic approach, the role of the IASSW in developing social work training courses at an international level and in local realities. Special attention is to interaction with regional organisations, in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and the Caribbean, also to enhance indigenous experience.\ The research is being conducted by an international team, made up of social work researchers from academic institutions in Brazil and Italy, and is growing. In order to reconstruct in a timely manner how the IASSW's engagement in the described field took place, the first phase of the research is at the Social Welfare History Archive of the IASSW (Elmer Andersen Library - Minneapolis) and is dedicated to the consultation and digitisation of documents: primary sources of the research. During the second phase, the observation and taxonomic evaluation of the collected material takes place, as well as the analysis of literature coeval with the period considered.\ The research is still in progress, so we present the initial results regarding the analysis of the material consulted. In addition, we produce and present analytical sheets that may constitute material available for further research.\ Reconstructing the history of the IASSW can foster awareness of this organisation's commitment - for almost a century - to promoting the quality of social worker education and the value system of social work at a global level.
