About the Archival and Preservation Caucus
Mission - The creation of the Archival and Preservation
Caucus shall provide a new community focus for librarians,
information professionals and those concerned with the
preservation of recorded knowledge regardless of
format.
Background
-
A petition of fifteen members was signed to
create an Archival and Preservation Caucus in the Winter
of 2003. All signatures were verified as members of the
association. The caucus was then approved in January
2004.
-
The scope of the caucus is: To support special librarians
and other information professionals interested in
archives and preservation of digital or paper-based
materials. The supporting reasons for the establishment
of this caucus are:
-
-
Exchange the latest information regarding archival
and preservation activity. Provide members with a
forum for discussing research articles, literature
reviews, case studies, perspectives, and
international reports.
-
Develop professional skills through collaborative
learning and promote archival and preservation
knowledge within SLA.
-
Provide special librarians and other information
professionals with a knowledge-exchange area where
they can learn about new and developing archival and
preservation technologies and activities. Encourage
special librarians and other information
professionals to capitalize on advances in archival
and preservation technology and practice.
