CFP: Society of American Archivists Student Papers Session



Call For Papers:  Society of American Archivists Student Session

The Society of American Archivists 2002 Program Committee is now accepting paper proposals for a special student session to be held at the Society's next annual meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, August 19-25, 2002.  The proposed session, consisting of papers written and presented by three current archival students, will be in addition to the regularly scheduled student poster session.  Each student will be allotted fifteen minutes to read his or her paper (8-10 pages, double-spaced), followed by fifteen minutes of commentary by the chair and thirty minutes of questions and answers with the audience.

In keeping with the broad theme of next year's meeting*"Archival Roots: Our Foundation and Our Future"*students are encouraged to submit proposals relating to any archival topic of current research interest to them and the larger SAA community.  A rating panel consisting of a member of the 2002 Program Committee, the Council liaison to SAA's Student Section, and an archival educator, will select the three participants based on the quality of their proposals, which must include the following:

                * Your name, telephone number, and postal and email addresses
* Name and address of the school you attend
* Title of your paper
* 250-word abstract of your paper
* One-sentence statement attesting to your commitment to attend next year's SAA meeting and to deliver your paper in person, if selected by the panel

All proposals must be postmarked no later than February 9, 2002, and should be sent to Janice E. Ruth, a member of the 2002 SAA Program Committee, via email at or by postal mail to 6918 Storch Circle, Seabrook, MD 20706.
