In a May 23 vote the SAA Council agreed unanimously to endorse as an external standard the ACRL/RBMS Guidelines for Security and Theft in Special Collections, developed by the Rare Book and Manuscript Section Security Committee and approved by the Association of College and Research Libraries of the American Library Association. The Council agreed that the Guidelines should be accompanied on the SAA Standards Portal by an “Introduction for Archivists” prepared by the SAA Security Roundtable.
