Please stay tuned for follow ups.

The Society of American Archivists has grave concerns about recent acts of violence and hate speech in Portland, Oregon.  As we prepare for ARCHIVES 2017 in Portland, we are working with Travel Portland (the convention and visitors bureau), the Oregon Convention Center, the Hilton Portland and DoubleTree by Hilton, and local archivists to determine the best ways in which we can assist conference attendees in safely navigating the city. Thanks to concerned members who checked in so quickly for your thoughts and suggestions. Please watch the conference website (www.archivists.org/am2017), #saa17, and all-attendee email messages from SAA Headquarters for more information.
