The SAA Committee on Ethics and Professional Conduct wants to hear from you! Ethics is the core foundation that governs the Society of American Archivists. What are your thoughts on ethics and how it impacts the archival community? Write a blog post on ethics about how it impacts the profession, and the archival community today. Speak up! There are many areas for you to consider but not limited to:
· Present a case study of a specific subject where ethics interact with real world situation
· Is there an issue with regard to archival ethics that you want to write about?
· What other issues relating to ethics in archives need addressing?
· Media often plays a strong role disseminating news about archival ethical dilemmas, what is your opinion?
The blog should reflect the principles set forth in the current SAA Core Values and Code of Ethics. The goal is to develop a series of writings that address archival ethics in actionable, approachable language so that the resulting work can be used both as pedagogical tools and as practical resources in the workplace. Suggested length is 500 to 1,500 words.
The Committee also wants to hear from students and new professionals. To submit a blog post, please use the SUBMISSION FORM.
