January 23—There has been a recent increase in phishing across the internet, specifically via email impersonation. While SAA has safeguards to protect from scams, it is hard to get ahead of email impersonation. Email senders are general accounts made to look like they are internal or external from trusted parties. Therefore, please be alert to any suspicious emails. 

Here are a few general rules to follow:

January 13, 2023—SAA has signed onto a statement written in conjunction with the Council of State Archivists (CoSA) and the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators (NAGARA) strongly encouraging the appointment of archivists to the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH). At this critical moment for the arts, the humanities, and cultural heritage in the United States, the Committee's charge of advising the President of ways to support the arts, humanities, and museum and library services is more important than ever.

The Society of American Archivists mourns the passing on December 16, 2022, of Edward L. Weldon, 86, a Fellow of SAA who served as the 37th president in 1981–1982. 

December 22, 2022—The SAA Council seeks member feedback on proposed amendments to the SAA Constitution and Bylaws.

A recording of this event is now available here.

December 20, 2022—Mark your calendar! Join the SAA Council for an open forum to discuss proposed revisions to the SAA constitution and bylaws.
