The Education Committee is seeking proposals for webinars through Fall 2022. We are aiming to host at least four webinars throughout the year in addition to webinars in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting in the Spring. We would love to hear from those with presentations and work they would like to share!

Please submit your proposals using the SCA 2021-22 Webinar Proposals form, where you can indicate what you would like to present on and what timing will work best for you.  

Dear Colleagues,

We’re extending the call for images to be considered for the 2021 California Archives Month poster to Monday, August 30th! 

This year’s theme, “Strengthening Community Connections,” will be showcased on California’s first fully-virtual poster.

Instructions

• Please select up to three images that you feel best represent this theme to outreach@calarchivists.org by 11:59 pm on Monday, August 30, 2021 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 Gmail, 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) the file name, and 3) a description of the image that includes the subject, location (if known), and date (or approximation).

If you have any questions about the poster or image submission, you can contact SCA’s Communications & Outreach Committee at outreach@calarchivists.org.

Thank you,
Veronica Lara and Steve Kutay
SCA Communications and Outreach Committee, Co-Chairs
