Founded in 1972, MARAC is a vibrant, volunteer-run organization welcoming archivists who live and work in the mid-Atlantic region, which includes Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

MARAC is focused on our members' needs and interests. We strive to provide MARAC members affordable archival education, encourage diversity and inclusion in the profession, foster collegiality among archivists, and support archival advocacy throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. MARAC membership offers a wealth of benefits and service opportunities.

MARAC holds semi-annual meetings in the spring and fall, alternating between in-person conferences, in-person symposia, and virtual conferences. The various formats offer choices in programming and cost to allow members to participate in ways that are convenient for them. Meetings offer a range of professional development opportunities, guest presentations, tours, social events, and ways to connect with fellow archivists.
