Regional Membership Connections

Do you work in an area where you don't feel like there are any other lone arrangers within a hundred mile radius? Frankly, I'm sure that's true for at least one or two of us! For the rest of us, we probably just don't know that other nearby lone arrangers even exist. If you're interested in trying to locate other lone arranger/small shop colleagues in your region, whether that be your city, county, or state, let us know. We've heard your feedback that there could be interest in forming some regional networking and/or support groups, and we'd like to help!

Regional Listings

Looking for a lone arranger contact within a larger regional archives organization? You will find a list below of other lone or small shop archivists who are already involved with various regional archives organizations and would like to meet other lone arrangers who are already a part of the organization or are looking to join the organization.

RAAC (Regional Archives Association Consortium) can help you find a regional group, if you do not already know your regional archivists' group.
