ACA announces 2001 test sites and date



The Academy of Certified Archivists has announced the date and locations of
the 2001 archival certification examination. The ACA will give the test
August 29, 2001, in Washington, DC (the site of the annual meeting of the
Society of American Archivists); Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona;
Dallas, Texas; Boston, Massachusetts; and your hometown.
The test site in Washington is intended to help lower travel expenses by
making the examination easily available to persons already attending the SAA
annual meeting. To further reduce or eliminate travel expenses, the
Academy's "You Pick Your Site" program allows you to host the archival
certification examination in your city, anywhere in the world. The only
requirement is that at least five persons take the examination at the same
site. This allows student organizations, graduate schools, and regional
archival associations to sponsor an examination in their area. It also
allows archivists living outside the United States to save thousands of
dollars in travel costs by holding the examination in their country.
To help persons understand and prepare for the examination, the Academy has
created "The Handbook for Archival Certification." It explains the
qualifications for taking the examination, reviews the examination's guiding
principles and organization, and includes sample questions, a study guide,
and a reading list. It is available for free on the Academy's website.
The deadline to register for the 2001 archival certification examination is
May 15. For more information, contact the ACA or visit the Academy's
