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.

You do not need to be a CAA member in order to subscribe to the list.
