The Crisis, Disaster, and Tragedy Response Working Group (CDTRWG) maintains and updates SAA’s Documenting in Times of Crisis: A Resource Kit; develops and provides immediate and ongoing resources and response assistance to archivists, allied cultural heritage professionals, and their communities in times of tragedies, disasters, or other crises; and builds partnerships with organizations focused on relief efforts and cultural stewardship and preservation. The CDTRWG continues and builds upon the work of SAA's Tragedy Response Initiative Task Force.

SAA's Commitee on Ethics and Professional Conduct (CEPC) has drafted a statement regarding the ethical acquisition of campus protest materials. Documenting in Times of Crisis: A Resource Kit and the services of the CDTRWG are included in the statement's short list of resources and further readings.
SAA has created a set of Pandemic Response Resources with information for managerial advocacy, support for displaced archives workers, and other resources to help the archives community navigate this global health crisis.
