NHC-AHA Fall 2021 Lineup

August 10, 2021—The Society of American Archivists (SAA) appreciates the recent statement and apology from the American Historical Association (AHA) that was posted in the wake of its open letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). AHA’s statement provides greater context to the original letter and was written in response to an immediate outcry from archivists and historians.
As an organization that seeks to promote the use of archival materials to foster equity, diversity, inclusion, and historical accountability, SAA appreciates AHA’s intent to support NARA in the face of misinformation and unreasonable demands on the agency’s staff. SAA expects such support to be constructive and written in consultation with the archives community. The employees of NARA—and of every cultural heritage institution—are essential partners and valued colleagues for the countless communities they serve: businesses, governments, scholars, teachers, genealogists, and researchers of all kinds. It is past time that our communities come together to discuss and to advocate for our shared needs: increased funding for educational and cultural heritage organizations; the end of precarious labor and the “publish or perish” mindset in higher learning; and an educated public that values and engages with our work.
