Because this year is saa’s 25th Anniversary, I want to include well-wishes, birthday cards, reminiscences of saa or members (past and present) in the Spring edition of the newsletter. Although it’s saa’s birthday, this invitation is not limited strictly to members or even former members. We welcome any comments (or articles) about saa in particular or the value of regional archival organizations in general. Please send responses to zimmerj6@gmail.com and put “saa birthday” in the subject line.
Month: February 2010
Winter Membership Meeting: Save the Date
Mark your calendars for March 11, 10:00-11:30 for the Seattle Area Archivists winter membership meeting to be held at the University of Washington.
Note that the focus of the meeting has been shifted: since we didn’t get a hearty response from student presenters, we will be treated to an inside look at two visual collections in the Special Collections department at UW. Nicolette Bromberg will share an acquisition story about a collection of materials from an early woman photographer, Viretta Denny; Hannah Palin will talk about the appraisal and eventual acquisition and inventory of large sports film collection.
More details will be forthcoming.
