Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting if you have encountered this message before! In honor of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, SAA is developing an online exhibit that showcases the nation's rich, diverse, and challenging histories through the materials we care for in our repositories. We invite archival repositories across the states and territories to contribute one digital/digitized item to this exhibition. You can find more information about the initiative and the submission process https://www2.archivists.org/groups/america250-task-force/250-for-the-250th. Click or tap if you trust this link." rel="noopener">on SAAʻs website.
Folks who responded to the survey SAA circulated in October should have received an email with a Preservica upload link and a link to a metadata form. If you did not respond to the survey (or didnʻt get the link) but still want to contribute an item, please email SAAAmerica250TaskForce@archivists.org.
Please share with organizations and repositories who may be interested. You do not have to be a member of SAA to participate.
Thank you for considering!
