One of CAA's most important goals is to keep archivists in touch with each other. Use one of these channels to share knowledge, recommendations, and questions, with information specific to local sources and needs.
CAA is on Slack! Join in on the discussion on CAA's members-only Slack workspace. Read this information sheet to learn how to find us as well as tips for managing your Slack workspace.
