    Dear SISIA Members,

    Welcome to the 2025 September start of SISIA. My name is Natasha. I am a member of ACA and SISIA. It is an honour and pleasure to return to the SISIA. My role will be to continue to provide support by setting up the meetings and holding space for conversations that are hopefully meaningful and generative for your professional and personal archival selves. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and seeing some you again. 

    Similar to previous years, the goal of the SISIA is to establish an informal meeting space for members interested or working with Indigenous collections. The meetings are often open dialogue for members to discuss any topic related to Indigenous perspectives, experience, and interests generally but also regarding archive. We are very open to discuss whatever is of interest to you in the present moment on these topics and hope that we can be of support to each other on our varying paths of learning and unlearning both within and external to the archive. Below is a meeting schedule. Similar to last year, the group will meet bi-monthly, the generally on last Friday of the month from 2 pm-3 pm EST. 

    Last year, some of the topics we covered in conversation include:
    •    ACA Reconciliation Framework, the work and goals of the Indigenous Matters Committee (IMC)
    •    challenges, priorities, and resources for Indigenous community-based archival practice 
    •    content management systems for Indigenous-based archives
    •    pre and post ACA conference topics and discussions
    •    HBC bankruptcy and ACA open letter
    •    an ACA Indigenous-only SISIA group

    Throughout all of this discussion, a number of resources and links were provided in the chat and documented in the meeting minutes. Currently, we are in the process establishing a list of those shared resources to be posted on the SISIA webpage of ACA.

    2025 Meeting Schedule
    Friday September 12th, 2-3 pm EST
    Friday November 28 , 2-3 pm EST

    2026 Meeting Schedule 
    Friday January 30, 2-3 pm EST
    Friday March 27, 2-3 pm EST
    Friday May 29, 2-3 pm EST
    Friday July 31, 2-3 pm EST



    I will be working on the agenda for the first meeting over in the coming weeks. If you have any questions or there is an item you would like to discuss in the next meeting or subsequent meetings, please contact me and I would be happy to include. Please know, we are always happy revisit previous discussed topics.

    Thank you! Have a lovely day and I look forward to meeting you on September 12th.
    Natasha

  • Students and Early Career Special Interest Section (S.E.C.S.I.S.) Kasaysayan, Karapatan, At Kalayan: Recordkeeping & Human Rights Webinar

    Dear ACA Members,

    The Students and Early Career Special Interest Section (S.E.C.S.I.S.) is excited to be hosting their first event, "KASAYSAYAN, KARAPATAN, AT KALAYAAN: RECORDKEEPING & HUMAN RIGHTS". This webinar is in partnership between the S.E.C.S.I.S and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP).

    As archivists in Canada grapple with this country's settler colonial history and the question of how we can support marginalized communities today, the Filipino people offer an example of archivists working within and alongside a people's movement. This webinar brings together Filipino archivists and community memory workers, and solidarity activists to discuss how we can participate in and support genuine change and social justice. Participants will learn about various archival initiatives and will have an opportunity to link their work and perspective here in Canada to supporting the growing movement for human rights in the Philippines and globally.

    Please join us on Monday September 22nd at 5:00pm EST (2:00pm PST and 5:00am Philippines).
