Hi, all --

I've attached an updated SARA guide archives in SA and the surrounding area. You'll recall we created that in 2018.

1) I worked between the content on the current listings here:

and

2) a spreadsheet shared with me from SARA that needs updating.

3) and checking addresses, urls, phone numbers, many that have changed.

4) I added in the footer, "UPDATED 2023."

I took out an image that had been in the 2018 brochure I created, to create more space. So, not only are there edits, but also a couple of additions.

I focused on including places that have collections that are accessible, and not the ones that have not yet evolved into functioning archives that provide some kind of access to archival materials.

Therefore, I added the word "comprehensive" to the title of the brochure.

Also, SPACE was a factor. I originally created for a legal size, tri-fold brochure. However, I created it in Publisher, and am sharing the pdf saved from that. If someone ever wants to take this on instead of me, do a re-design, whatever, let me know, I can share the Publisher file. I'm not married to it! However, if you wish, I am able to continue working with it.

I have quite a few of the older 2018 brochure printed out on legal, with some outdated information -- would you like me to bring those to the event anyway? This pdf file prints out very nicely on 11x17 -- much more legible. So that, if each repository wants to print some and bring their own little stash, that might be a nice touch. 

I am planning on printing some out myself, if no one objects, to share at my table.

OK, let me know your thoughts, if any.

See you soon,
Donna Guerra
