Did you know that the Society of American Archivists has a mentoring program that is free for all members?
SAA's Mentoring Program is designed to bring together members with shared interest in different aspects of the archival profession. The goal is to cultivate career development and communication between members with areas of expertise and members who want to build their knowledge within those areas.
If you are seeking advice on your career trajectory, resume development, interviewing skills, educational opportunities, or even more specialized advice, please feel free to submit an application and be matched with archivists willing to help!
We currently have mentors available with the following areas of expertise and interests:
- Archival Processing
