Mission

  •  dish_greenSTHC is a forum for archivists working at institutions in the natural and social sciences, technology, and the health sciences. STHC provides a means for its members to share problems, projects, and products that they have in common.
  • STHC is a roundtable within the Society of American Archivists (SAA). As such, STHC serves as an advocate for its members interests, provides avenues of communication, and engages in special projects.
    Like all SAA roundtables, STHC is informally governed. STHC has two co-chairs and a Steering Committee, all of whom are listed in the membership section.
  • STHC membership is easy: just notify one of the co-chairs of your interest. Involvement is at the level you feel comfortable. Membership in SAA is not a requirement.
  • STHC holds its annual two-hour meeting at the annual SAA meeting. These meetings consist of a brief business meeting, presentations on new and ongoing topics of interest, and an open forum for discussing relevant issues.
  • In addition to its own program, STHC also proposes sessions for the overall SAA meeting. This helps assure STHC members that there will be sessions of interest to them.
  • STHC also annually produces its newsletter Archival Elements, with sections on projects, institutions, special topics, and roundtable business.
