Welcome to the Society of Florida Archivists! 

The Society of Florida Archivists is an organization of individuals and institutions who share a concern for the identification, preservation, and use of records of historical value. It is dedicated to the dissemination of information about such records and about sound archival methodology.

Our membership is drawn from colleges and universities, state and local government, libraries, religious institutions, museums, and historical societies. We work with all types of records, including not only paper, but also photographs, maps, film, sound recordings, and electronic records.

The goals of the Society are pursued in three broad areas: meetings and workshops, publications, and education. Some of what we offer are:
  • Annual Conference of the Society, where members gather to exchange information, keep updated with changes in the archival profession, renew acquaintances, and visit local repositories.
  • Preconference workshops. Led by experts from all over the country - in recent years, these have been sponsored by the Society of American Archivists - these workshops provide a unique opportunity to study new archival practices and technologies as well as to strengthen present skills.
  • The Florida Archivist, the quarterly publication of the Society. It highlights important accessions, upcoming meetings, recent publications, reports on SFA activities, and includes articles concerning archival theory, archival sites on the internet, and preservation.
  • The SFA Members Listserv, provides a forum for news and announcements, questions concerning archival issues, and discussion of pertinent topics.
