SAA seeks volunteers for Archives in Context

Join SAA’s Podcast Team!

Love a good podcast? Have a charming on-air presence? Excel at managing deadlines? Come join us!

SAA’s podcast is looking to add three people to its volunteer team: two Co-Hosts and one Project Coordinator. Archives in Context—now in its eighth season and sponsored jointly by the Publications Board, American Archivist Editorial Board, and Committee on Public Awareness—hosts dynamic conversations with archivists contributing to the archival literature, to SAA and the profession, and to public access and awareness of archives. The podcast team—made up of a project coordinator, four co-hosts, three producers, and SAA staff—release at least six episodes annually.

Co-Hosts are the voices you hear on the podcast. They prepare for interviews by suggesting topics, becoming familiar with the work of guests, and drafting questions and introductions. After conducting interviews virtually, co-hosts listen to the audio and recommend edits to the sound engineer.

The Project Coordinator serves as the “chair” of the team, setting a vision for a season, refining workflow, and bridging the work of the two sub-teams who create the episodes. The Project Coordinator:

  • Considers broadly the scope of the podcast, overarching themes for the season, diversity of topics and guests, order of episodes, and anything that comes up between planning sessions.
  • Leads monthly check-ins with the producers and keep both teams apprised of new developments via email.
  • Sets a timeline for episodes moving through the production process, keep teams on schedule, and liaisons with the sound engineer to finalize episodes. 

All candidates should have excellent project management and people skills and be an SAA member. Previous podcasting experience is preferred. The time commitment is about 5-10 hours per month.

To apply: send a letter indicating why you are interested in the position, your favorite podcast, and your résumé to podcast@archivists.org by September 15, 2023.

New Episode: Archives in Context

In the latest episode of Archives in Context, co-hosts Nicole Milano and Camila Zorrilla Tessler speak with editors Rachel Chatalbash, Susan Hernandez, and Megan Schwenke about their recent book Museum Archives: Practice, Issues, Advocacy (Society of American Archivists, 2022). Chatalbash, Hernandez, and Schwenke discuss museum archives and archivists, the genesis of the publication and its connection to the Museum Archives Section of SAA, and what they hope readers will learn from the volume. Listen today!

Case Studies

New Case Study on Access Policies for Native American Archival Materials
Case 3: Access Policies for Native American Archival Materials in the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution
 by Diana E. Marsh, Robert Leopold, Katherine Crowe, and Katherine S. Madison is the latest addition to SAA’s open access case studies series on Access Policies for Native American Archival Materials. This case examines the policies and practices of the National Anthropological Archives at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History over a fifty-year period. It describes a series of archival programs and projects that occurred before, during, and after the development of the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials in order to view changes in the archives’ access policies within a broader cultural and institutional milieu. The case study assesses the influence of the Protocols as well as some challenges to the adoption of several recommendations and makes several proposals for archival repositories with comparable collections and constituencies. The case studies series is sponsored by the Native American Archives Section.
