December 4, 2025—The SAA Council held a hybrid meeting in Chicago, IL, November 17–19. The Council has a few announcements to share:

December 2, 2025—The link to submit proposals for ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2026, taking place next summer in New Orleans, Louisiana and online, is now live.

This year, SAA is using Whova as the submission portal. If you already have a Whova account, you can use that to log in when making your submission.

November 21, 2025—During its August 2025 meeting, the SAA Council voted to approve a new dues model. The change to the model aims to address SAA’s operations deficit, which has been ongoing for several years. This new model is set to go into effect on January 1, 2026. No dues will increase by more than $75 for any individual membership tier under the new structure. 

The Society of American Archivists annually recognizes leaders and achievers in the field of archives. SAA offers a variety of professional recognitions and financial assistance through an awards competition, student scholarships, and the naming of Fellows.
