The Research Forum, organized by the Committee on Research, Data, and Assessment (CORDA), gives researchers, practitioners, educators, and students the opportunity to learn about and share research initiatives that are relevant to archival and/or records management practice.
Research has implications for good archival practice and occurs across a spectrum of activities—from “pure” research to applied research to innovative practice. If you’re engaged in research, seeking to identify research-based solutions for your institution, or simply interested in what’s happening in research and innovation—then the SAA Research Forum is for you!
The 2025 Research Forum will be conducted as two Zoom-based virtual sessions, each four hours long on:
July 23, 12:00-4:00 pm CT RSVP here
July 30, 12:00-4:00 pm CT RSVP here
The Research Forum has evolved over the years from a day-long in-person meeting at the SAA Annual Meeting (2007-2019) to virtual meetings (2020-). Since 2008, the Research Forum has published papers in the Proceedings with a mix of review models. Co-founded by Nance McGovern and Helen Tibbo in 2007, the Research Forum became a CORDA subcommittee in 2022.

Thank you for your encouragement and we look forward to seeing you at the next SAA Research Forum.
