Welcome

Greetings! Last year, we successfully restarted this organization and we are eager to keep the momentum going.

This organization is meant for anyone with who has even the slightest interest or curiosity in archives and special collections. We welcome students not only enrolled in Indiana University's School of Library and Information Science but IU students in other programs as well.

Regardless if you have an interest in working with archives and records, albeit in a library, museum or conservation and preservation institution, or if you just want to know more about the profession, we invite you to come to our meetings and events.

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting and making this another successful year. In the meantime, let us know if you have any questions or comments about this student chapter.
