In honor of Archives Month, we are holding a virtual Archives Chat on October 15 at 1:30pm! We’re excited to see everyone, and we’ll have updates on the 2027 conference and information about how you can get more involved with SCAA.
We also want to hear from you about what your organization or institution is doing for Archives Month - it may inspire the rest of us with some ideas for the second half of the month!
We sent out a meeting link and information via email, but if didn't get it, please reach out to Sydney Derrick, the SCAA Blog Editor & Outreach Manager, at blog@scarchivists.org.
SCAA is hosting gatherings this summer for our members to spend time together in person at locations around the state.
You are invited to join your fellow archivists on Friday, July 24th between 2-4:30 p.m. at the James B. Duke Library. Visitor parking is available near the library or behind the Chapel. The address is 3300 Poinsett Highway, Greenville, SC. Appetizers will be served, and you can drop in on a guided tour at any time. If you are able to come out earlier in the day, please consider visiting the Sigal Music Museum, the Upcountry Museum, or you can go shopping on Main Street near the gorgeous Falls River. If you want to stick around after the event at Furman, the Main Street Fridays music festival will be happening, or you can go to the Shakespeare Festival. Please rsvp for this event here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=JUduhRIIxEabGTNNLgMYdNIW_jnyOg1FioNplfB-C6ZUM0hOUUhVSEZCVDdTQUtDNTMxNEFaQzZWNS4u&origin=QRCode.
