ABOUT CAA

Who We Are

Since 1982, the Chicago Area Archivists has worked to provide opportunities for local archivists, historians, librarians and others in the Chicago metro area to meet together for discussion, social interaction, and education. Our 175+ members include archivists, librarians, and records managers in academic, corporate, governmental, institutional, library, and museum settings.

Goals

  • to share information on issues of interest to the local archival community
  • to advocate preservation of and access to historically valuable resources related to the Chicago area
  • to keep members informed about archival programs and resources

Activities

We fulfill these goals through meetings, programs, tours of members' repositories, twice-yearly parties, and other activities.

Organization

Activities are planned by a volunteer steering committee, and are funded by annual membership dues. For more information or to join the Chicago Area Archivists, visit our membership area or send an email message to Janet Olson.
