J-SNCA is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to support the theoretical, practical, and scholarly aspects of the archival profession. The editorial board of J-SNCA invites members of the research and archival communities to submit articles for a general issue on archival topics to be published winter 26/27. Submissions on archival methodology, metadata, collecting practices, outreach, and rethinking the goals of archival work in our current age, are all welcome. We especially welcome submissions related to the theme of this year's annual meeting, "Many Voices, Stronger Archives: Advocacy through Community" which calls us to reflect on the roles and impacts of advocacy and community within the archival profession.
The deadline for article submission is August 15, 2026. All members of the archival community, including students and independent researchers, are welcome to submit articles. Contributors need not be members of the Society of North Carolina Archivists or live in the state of North Carolina.
