Subject: Announcement from Society of Southwest Archivists

Sent on behalf of SSA President Brenda Gunn and SAA President Richard
Pearce-Moses

Dear Colleagues:

The Society of Southwest Archivists and the Society of American
Archivists announce the creation of the SSA-SAA Emergency Disaster
Assistance Grant Fund--a fund established to address the stabilization
and recovery needs of archival repositories that have been directly
affected by Hurricane Katrina. Any repository that holds archival
records or special collections and that is located in Hurricane
Katrina-affected areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, or Mississippi
is eligible to apply for a grant. The repository need not be a member of
SSA or SAA.

Grant monies may be used for the direct recovery of damaged or at-risk
archival materials; such services as freeze drying, storage,
transportation of materials, and rental facilities; supplies, including
acid-free boxes and folders, storage cartons, cleaning materials,
plastic milk crates, and protective gear; and to defray the costs for
volunteers or other laborers who assist with the recovery.

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ASSIST OUR COLLEAGUES BY SUPPORTING THE FUND, PLEASE
VISIT
<http://www.archivists.org/katrina/contribute.asp>http://www.archivists
.org/katrina/contribute.asp TO MAKE YOUR DONATION. BOTH SAA AND SSA
HAVE CONTRIBUTED $5,000 IN "SEED"
MONEY TO ESTABLISH THE FUND.
