The SCA newsletter is seeking articles and notices about your activities and accomplishments for the Winter issue. The newsletter relies entirely on submissions from community members, so please share your news with the California archives community. 

How about an article on newly processed collections, new acquisitions, your institution's response to the challenging budget environment, grants received, or an ongoing project? Or you might consider a short notice on upcoming events, exhibit openings, new hires, student activities, internship opportunities, or workshops? Have you read a great book that other archivists might find interesting? How about submitting a short review of it? Submissions on any topics of interest to the California archives community are welcome. We would love to have short news and events items from repositories and archivists throughout the state.

Please review all submission guidelines online. 

The deadline for submissions is Monday, November 25, 2024. Email your submissions to newsletter@calarchivists.org. Be sure to include your repository name, location, and contact information.

For more information, please contact the newsletter editors at newsletter@calarchivists.org.

Thank you for sharing!

Best,

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.
