The template of our past website served us well for many years but was discontinued by Wild Apricot, our membership management platform. Some features were no longer supported and it was time for a refresh.

The 2021 SIA Annual Meeting will be held virtually on April 29th and 30th.  The 2021 theme, A New Normal: The Profession at a Crossroads will explore the changes within the profession initiated by the pandemic and social unrest around the country. Programs will cover topics pertaining to operating under quarantine, and in the era of COVID-19, how archives are responding to and capturing social movements like Black Lives Matter. For this “new normal,” we will go beyond the tips and tricks to how the events of 2020 may be reshaping what we do, how we do it, and the overall profession. 

SIA will be offering discounted rates to this year’s annual meeting.

SIA members: $25

Non-SIA members: $35
