Abstract: The New England Archivists was formed in 1973. The organization is incorporated as a nonprofit organization under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Its purpose as defined by the Bylaws is as follows: "to foster the preservation and use of records of enduring value in New England, public and private, corporate and individual, and to improve the management and public awareness and understanding of such records, by providing pre-professional and continuing education in archival theory and practices; a forum for the exchange of information among individuals and institutions having responsibility for records of enduring value in the region; and appropriate means of communication and cooperation with other archival organizations and with individual and groups of allied professions."

History

The New England Archivists was formed in 1973. The organization is incorporated as a nonprofit organization under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Its purpose as defined by the Bylaws is as follows: "to foster the preservation and use of records of enduring value in New England, public and private, corporate and individual, and to improve the management and public awareness and understanding of such records, by providing pre-professional and continuing education in archival theory and practices; a forum for the exchange of information among individuals and institutions having responsibility for records of enduring value in the region; and appropriate means of communication and cooperation with other archival organizations and with individual and groups of allied professions."

The NEA's ongoing concerns are preserving and making available for use original documentary materials. NEA sponsors two conferences per year, one of which also serves as the annual meeting, that offer programs of interest to members of the archival community and provide a forum for group discussions and the exchange of ideas. In addition, the NEA sponsors several day-long workshops and seminars each year, which provide a thorough examination of such topics as archival security, arrangement and description, records management, preservation, and appraisal.

With membership over 600, NEA continues to offer professional support, information, and on-going training to records curators throughout the New England area.
