IAAS Senior Co-Chair (2024-25) Karen Trivette Named SAA Fellow

Karen Trivette, PhD recruiter of Archival Science Faculty and Students at Alma Mater Europaea University-European Center Maribor, Slovenia, will be inducted as a Fellow of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) during an awards ceremony at the Annual Meeting of SAA in Anaheim, CA. The distinction of Fellow is the highest honor bestowed on individuals by SAA and is awarded for outstanding contributions to the archives profession.

Specifically related to the International Archival Affairs Section (IAAS), Trivette has led a multitude of workshops and forged a vibrant online presence for the IAAS as senior co-chair (2024–2025). As IAAS junior co-chair (2023–2024), Trivette created Archival Vistas Briefings, a video series that discusses topics or themes of archives internationally. This year's focus is on standards, one of her areas of expertise. The Archival Landscapes seminar series began in 2020 and centers on geographies of the world and archival practice in various countries. Under Trivette's leadership, these continue to excel by offering rare, globally-focused content and by welcoming into the "SAA fold" people who are not yet members of SAA. Read more at:
