SeArch

Since 1985, Seattle Area Archivists (SeArch) has served as the local association of professional archivists and others interested in the preservation and use of archival materials in the Greater Seattle Area. Whether stored in boxes on shelves or on servers in the cloud, our archives are packed with incredible stories—and we’re here to make sure they don’t fade.

If you're a seasoned archival professional, a student, or a passionate advocate, SeArch is your local network for sharing resources, swapping knowledge, and keeping Seattle's historic record alive and accessible.

We are the pros, the students, and the passionate preservationists across the Northwest.

If you manage an archive, curate a collection, or simply believe that history should be kept and shared, you belong here.

We are your local community for professional development, informal exchange, and mutual support. A collective of memory-makers working to protect our regional heritage.
