CHICAGO — Congratulations to the 37 new Digital Archives Specialists (DAS)! These archivists, who represent a variety of repositories around the country, earned their DAS Certificate from the Society of American Archivists (SAA) after completing the required coursework within twenty-four months and passing a comprehensive examination in January 2025.

Fourteen candidates are competing for three key leadership positions in the Society of American Archivists' 2025 election (see details on the right). Your vote helps shape the future of SAA—don’t miss this opportunity to participate!

Wondering what it takes to write a research article? Draft a book proposal? Prepare a case study on archival practice? Review a professional resource? Define terminology in the archival lexicon?

Members of the Society of American Archivists,

I am writing today to address the recent Wall Street Journal article that contained inaccurate and misleading information about exhibits at the National Archives. I understand that the article's mischaracterizations may have caused confusion and concern among some in the archival community. Let me be very clear, the article does not accurately depict our work at the National Archives.

December 12, 2024—On December 4, the presidents of the Society of American Archivists (SAA), the Council of State Archives (CoSA), the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators (NAGARA), and the Regional Archival Associations Consortium (RAAC) submitted a joint letter to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
