SCA is currently in the early stages of updating the California Directory of Archival Repositories. The final product will be an updated, online searchable database. SCA's Publications Committee has formed an ad-hoc committee to work on this project and they are diligently beginning to gather data from California archival repositories. The committee members will individually be sending institutions emails in an effort to be as thorough as possible. Please note these emails may be coming from personal emails. If your institution is contacted to update your information and you are uncertain if the email you received is from a committee member, feel free to contact the committee or email admin@calarchivists.org.
