Why is it important?

•  “A community without its records is a community under siege, defending itself, its identity, and its version of history without a firm foundation on which to stand.” -- Jeannette Bastian

What makes SAADA unique

•  Post-custodial archive •  Digital-only archive •  Radically focused on access •  Materials described at the item-level •  Actively engage community members in a

dialogue about history and the role of archives
