SCA is a volunteer-run organization that relies greatly on its members to not only operate as an organization but also to remain relevant and useful to archives professionals throughout the state of California. Serving on the SCA Board or on the Nominating Committee is an excellent way to both become more familiar with the archival profession in California and to have an impact on SCA’s future and the future of its members. It's also a great chance to work with a team of wonderful archival colleagues from around the state, while developing your own professional strengths.

For more information about each of these positions and their responsibilities, please review sections 2-3, 2-4, 2-7, 2-8 and 3-12 of the SCA Handbook.

Please submit all nominations by Monday, December 2, 2024.

 Thank you for your thoughtful submissions!

We’re now calling on all institutions interested in submitting images for the 2024 California Archives Month poster! This year’s theme, “Great Ideas Start Here,” will be showcased on California’s fully-virtual poster. 

Instructions

• Please select up to three images that you feel best represent this theme and send them to outreach@calarchivists.org by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, for a chance to be featured on the poster.
• Image files must be in the TIFF (.tif) format captured at 300 ppi or higher, if possible. There is a 25 Mb limit for attachments sent to the above Gmail address, so you may need to send multiple submissions if you are sending multiple images in order to stay under the cap. 
• Include in each submission email: 1) the name of the holding organization, 2) File name, and 3) a description of the image that includes the subject, location (if known), and date (or approximation).

The Society of California Archivists 2025 AGM will be held, in-person, at

The Garland

Los Angeles, April 2-4, 2025

The SCA Local Arrangements Committee is thrilled to announce that the 2025 AGM will be held at The Garland Hotel in North Hollywood on April 2-4.

This iconic Los Angeles institution was founded in 1970 by actress Beverly Garland and her husband, Filmore Crank. It was designed to offer a hideaway to LA's hippest crowd. Now owned and operated by Beverly's son, James, the newly renovated hotel has become an award winning destination for food and fun. 

Help us kick off the countdown to AGM 2025 by checking out all The Garland has to offer:
