Special Interest Sections (S.I.S.)

The ACA’s Special Interest Sections exist to provide a discussion forum for members with similar interests. S.I.S.s also aim to attract new members sharing similar interests to the Association, and to advocate the advancement of archives in special interest areas.

Are there aspects of your S.I.S. that you would like to highlight? Content can include: Past and future activities, annual reports, recorded presentations from past conferences, or anything else that you'd like to make available online or specifically in the Members Only section of the website. Please contact your S.I.S. Chair, the ACA Office, or Director-at-Large John Richan at dal1@archivists.ca for assistance.
