Society of American Archivists U of M Student Chapter

SAA Student Chapter Meeting
5:00 PM-6:00 PM
Wednesday, September 17, 2008

All interested in the student chapter of the Society of American Archivists are invited to attend this first meeting of the academic year. Pizza will be provided.

I heard an interesting report on NPR yesterday about a prison camp in the US which interrogated German researchers when they were brought to the US during the 1940's. Most of it was about the oral histories created and the records that go along with them. You can listen to the report or read about it at the link below.

Come for a relaxing meal (I hear its going to be quite tasty) with your fellow colleagues at the Bentley. Its a wrap-up to the practicum, but all are welcome. Its so relaxed that you don't even need to worry about networking. Wrap up the semester and maybe win a neat prize! Please RSVP and also make a note if you would like a vegetarian meal or not.
