Volunteer for the SAA Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) Subcommittee

July 6, 2020 – The SAA Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) Subcommittee is seeking new volunteers to fill three open positions. The subcommittee was recently expanded and is seeking two volunteers to fill new four-year positions, as well as one volunteer to fill a mid-term vacancy through 2022.

The Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) Subcommittee is responsible for ensuring that the Digital Archives Specialist curriculum remains up-to-date. Because the curriculum is likely to require frequent changes, the Subcommittee suggests and implements changes to the curriculum (including the examinations) as needed. In addition, the Subcommittee is responsible for ensuring the currency of the core competencies for a DAS certificate, overseeing the learning outcomes to ensure that they support the core competencies, and supporting the development of new courses.
