SAA Foundation Annual Meeting Awards – Apply Now

April 9, 2026—The SAA Foundation is pleased to announce that applications for the Annual Meeting Travel Awards are now open. These awards are designed to support SAA members attending ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2026, in New Orleans, LA, taking place July 29–August 1, 2026, by reducing financial barriers to professional participation through covering conference related expenses.

In alignment with the Foundation’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate financial need. 

Attending the SAA Annual Meeting offers valuable opportunities to:  

  • Build professional networks and community 
  • Engage with current archival theory and practice 
  • Learn from voices in the field 

The caliber of speakers was phenomenal, and I thoroughly enjoyed the most the panels that focus heavily on archival theory. I especially enjoyed the enlightening discussion about archival debt, and I’m using inspiration from this session to help with my institution’s current process of policy and procedure revisions. I’m thrilled to be able to incorporate the knowledge gained from my exposure to critical thought and fantastic idea exchanges from like-minded folks at SAA." - Calli Force, 2024 Annual Award Recipient.
