The Archival Continuing Education (ACE) Guidelines (2010) provide guidelines for continuing education pertaining to professional archival knowledge beyond the formal credit/hour structure of education institutions. The ACE Guidelines specifically apply to individuals and organizations that provide or sponsor archival continuing education. Practicing archivists, employers, archival educators, accrediting agencies, and those who fund, oversee, support, work with, or use archives or who participate in archival continuing education may also find the ACE Guidelines useful.

SAA’s Committee on Education seeks member comment on its proposed revision of “Archival Continuing Education (ACE) Guidelines,” which was last reviewed in 2010. This revision of the ACE Guidelines consists of minor and editorial changes to bring ACE in better alignment with the 2016 revision of the Guidelines for a Graduate Program in Archival Studies.

To view the proposed revisions, see the clean version or the tracked changes.
