Society of American Archivists U of M Student Chapter

Second advising session offered by SAA. Come and learn more about some classes that may be useful to an ARM student particularly how the "A" and "RM" are so closely linked that they are probably the same.

Just a quick reminder that the Michigan Archival Association Program Committee is looking for proposals for a student papers session at next year's conference in June of 2008 at Mackinaw City!

We need proposals by December 15, 2007 for consideration to present in the session. We can only choose three students for the session, from either Wayne State's Library and Information Science or Graduate Certificate programs or the University of Michigan's School of Information.

Sponsored by: School of Information & College of Engineering

Employers representing a wide range of organizations will discuss international opportunities relating to engineering and information technology. Speakers will provide insight into these careers and discuss ways for students to prepare for international opportunities within these fields.

Graduate Student Conference in Archives, Rare Books, and Special Collections

February 9, 2008
Lilly Library
Bloomington, IN

This conference presents a forum for students interested in archives, rare books, and special collections to come together, share their work & experiences, and learn from one another. While providing a wonderfulexperience, conferences designed for the professional archivist are often intimidating for students, making it difficult to fully share

The Chicago Archives Fair introduces students, educators, historians, and genealogists to primary source materials preserved for use in area museums, libraries, universities, historical societies, and associations. College and university students looking for research seminar paper topics and elementary and high school students seeking ideas for Chicago Metro History Fair research projects are especially welcome.

Come mix and mingle with professionals from local-area archives. This is a great chance to get to know who's who in Michigan archives and make possible connections for internships and/or jobs. It also shows our support and appreciation for the relationship we have with the Bentley, which provides jobs and practicum opportunities for many of us every year.
