JOIN SAM!

The Student Archivists at Maryland (SAM) is an organization established for the expressed purpose of developing archival skills as well as an awareness of social responsibilities to encourage students to participate in archival affairs. The Student Archivists at Maryland is a recognized student chapter of the Society of America Archivists (SAA).

The Student Archivists at Maryland meet on a regular basis and sponsor tours, workshops, and other activities related to the archival field. Outreach and cooperation with other student chapters of the SAA is also encouraged.

Although you do not have to become a member to attend our events, you should consider becoming a SAM member. The dues make SAM events possible, and membership can be listed on your resume. SAM uses your dues to pay for the following items:

• Refreshments and supplies for SAM events and speakers
• Flyers for SAM events and speakers
• SAM poster sent to the SAA annual meeting
• SAM brochure, bookmarks, and stickers
• SAM alumni pizza party (spring)

We don't require that our members belong to Society of American Archivists or MARAC (Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference), but we strongly encourage you to join. Student memberships to these organizations are not too expensive, and the benefits are worth it. As archives students, we are professionals in the making, and this is a valuable first step towards professional involvement.

To become a member of SAM please print out and complete the membership form. Forms may also be obtained from any of the officers. Dues for one academic year are $5.00 payable at the time of application. Make checks payable to "Student Archivists at Maryland."
