Dear colleagues,
The Society of American Archivists' Mentoring Program is currently seeking additional mentoring volunteers! The Mentoring Program brings together members with shared interests in various 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.
Think you don't have any expertise to share? Some of our colleagues waiting for mentors are just getting started in the profession and are looking for advice on schools, classes, career trajectory, resume development and interviewing skills.
There are also those who have interest in the following areas:
Archival processing
Business/corporate archives
Collection management
Community archives
Digital archives
Digital preservation
Film/audiovisual archives
Government archives
Job search
Media preservation
Metadata and description
Navigating Tenure
Network building
Privacy and confidentiality
Visual materials
Writing and publishing
Please consider signing up to be a mentor by submitting this application (click on "Apply to be a mentor").
Thank you for your consideration,
Lydia Tang
