April 9, 2013--The Council of State Archivists (CoSA), National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators (NAGARA), and Society of American Archivists are working together to develop information that archivists and constituents can use to demonstrate the value and importance of archives. A joint working group is now collecting “stories” demonstrating this value for use in advocating for archives. Ultimately these stories will be made available-- along with other advocacy materials--via the groups' websites.
The working groups seeks stories that show the importance and impact of archives rather than focusing on informational content. Some examples of stories:
Because stakeholders may be motivated by a wide range of examples, the working group seeks a wide range of stories that can be shared. Particularly needed are stories emerging from or addressing the following:
- University archives
- Tribal archives
- Religious archives
- Business archives
- Scientific or environmental uses
- Business or economic development uses
- Educational uses
- Veteran-related uses, particularly from the Viet Nam War period to date
By May 1, 2013, send your stories and suggestions to saahq@archivists.org. Working group members will compile the information received and will contact you if clarification or more detail is needed. Thanks for your help in advocating for archives!
