American Archivists

American Archivists, particularly the Society of American Archivists (SAA), is a professional organization dedicated to preserving and ensuring access to historical records and documents. It provides resources, training, and standards for people who manage archives—collections of important materials like manuscripts, photographs, and digital files. The SAA supports archivists in their efforts to safeguard the cultural heritage of communities and institutions, helping them to organize, maintain, and make these records available for future research and education. Essentially, they ensure that historical information remains accessible and preserved for future generations.
