CAA Listserv
The CAA listserv meets one of the CAA’s most important goals: to keep archivists in touch with each other, sharing knowledge, recommendations, and questions on a local level, with information specific to local sources and needs. Announcements of upcoming CAA events will be posted to the list.
The listserv is called Chi-Area-Archivists. It is hosted by Northwestern University Archives, courtesy of the Northwestern University Library.
You are invited to subscribe to the list by sending the following email message to listserv@listserv.it.northwestern.edu:
subscribe chi-area-archivists firstname lastname
To post messages to the list, send them to:
chi-area-archivists@listserv.it.northwestern.edu
Note that only subscribers may post directly to the listerserv (this is to cut down on spam). If you wish to post a message but do not want to subscribe to the listserv, or if you have any problems with your listserv subscription, send a message to the Listserv Manager, j-olson@northwestern.edu.
