Graduate Student Paper Session
The work of three current archives students will be
selected for presentation. Each speaker will be allotted
15 minutes to present a paper. Thirty minutes
will be reserved for audience questions. Proposals
may relate to any research topic of interest to the
student and to the larger archives community. The
Subcommittee will select participants based on the
quality of proposals. Presenters and topics will be
listed in the Preliminary Program.
8th Annual Student Poster Session
The Student Poster Session showcases the work of
both individual students and SAA Student Chapters.
Individual posters may describe applied or theoretical
research that is completed or underway; discuss
interesting collections with which students have
worked; or report on archives projects in which students
have participated (eg, development of finding
aids, public outreach, special database construction,
etc). Submissions should focus on research or activity
conducted within the previous academic year.
Student Chapter posters may describe chapter
activities, events, and/or other involvement with
the archives profession. A single representative
should coordinate the submission of each Student
Chapter proposal.
