We’re now calling on all institutions interested in submitting images for the 2023 California Archives Month poster! This year’s theme, “Connected California – Community Connections,” 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 Thursday, August 31, 2023, 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).
• 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,

Steve Kutay, Anna Martino, and April Feldman

The Society of California Archivists is opening this Blog space to its members. Initially, the Communications and Outreach (C&O) Committee would like to post a blog from a Society-member guest blogger once a month. We’re open to a variety of topics, from announcements to tools & techniques.

We are working with the Publications Committee to facilitate cross-publication content. Blogs should be short-form, 500-600 words. They may be followed up by longer pieces in the SCA Newsletter per Publications Committee approval. Likewise, Blog posts may be updates to pieces previously published in the newsletter. All posts will be shared via SCA social media.

If you’re interested in blogging with SCA, please see the Guidelines for SCA Bloggers, where you will find details regarding topics, tone, copyright, how to submit your topic, and more.

C&O is looking forward to working more closely with the SCA membership!

Please direct questions and/or comments to outreach@calarchivists.org.
