SAA Government Records Section News



August 17, 2001

Dear Colleague:

The Government Records Section (GRS), Society of American Archivists
(SAA), is pleased to announce that the Summer 2001 edition of the
Government Records Section Newsletter is being distributed by the U.S.
Postal Service, and has been posted to the GRS Web site at
www.governmentrecordssection.org.

This edition of the newsletter includes articles by Merisue D'Achille
of the National Archives and Records Administration, and Dr. Kenneth
Winn of the Missouri State Archives.  Ms. D'Achille has contributed an
article on "The Technical and Archival Implications of New Electronic
Storage Media," while Dr. Winn has written on, "The Missouri State
Archives and the St. Louis Circuit Court Project: Creating
Partnerships that Rise to the Occasion".

The Government Records Section meeting will be on Thursday, August 30,
2001, at 8:00 am, during SAA in Washington, DC.  It is the great
pleasure of the Section to welcome Dra. Stella Ma. González Cicero,
Director of Archivo General de la Nación, Republic of Mexico. Mr. John
Carlin, Archivist of the United States, will introduce her.

After Dra. González Cicero's presentation, the Government Records
Section will also have the opportunity to hear from Ms. Nancy Smith,
Director of the Presidential Materials Staff, and Mr. Sam Watkins,
Project Director, Clinton Electronic Records. They will speak on
"Moving the Clinton White House."

After the presentations, the Government Records Section will have a
brief business meeting, including the election of new Steering
Committee Members.

The Board of the GRS is seeking out three worthy individuals to
replace outgoing members of the GRS Board. We especially need
volunteers from State (Province) and Federal (National) Government
institutions. This is a terrific opportunity to get involved in SAA,
and contribute to the educational endeavors and other activities of
the Government Records Section. Please contact the Nominations
Committee, which includes Jim Cassedy, Jelain Chubb, and Diana Banning
via e-mail or telephone before the meeting. Our addresses and contact
information are available at www.governmentrecordssection.org, under
Nominations.

Many Thanks,

Jim Cassedy
Outgoing Chair, Government Records Section
