Welcome to the new decade NWA
members!
Anyone find themselves looking
at a resolution that sounds something like “I’d like to get more involved” or
“I’d like to be an editor”? This is your lucky day… The Journal of Western
Archives is ready to launch and the folks at BYU need NWA members to fill
out the editorial board and serve as peer reviewers.
What is it? “The Journal of
Western Archives is an open access journal that will be based in the L. Tom
Perry Special Collections (Perry Special Collections) and be produced in
collaboration with western regional archival
associations.”
Why do we need this journal?
“Archivists living in the Western United States face a unique set of challenges
related to the geography of the West, as well as its relatively recent history.
The Journal of Western Archives will provide a venue where archivists
working in the West can highlight their unique contributions to the archival
profession. It will also be an open access journal meaning that its content will
be freely available to archivists and other interested consumers via the
Internet.”
If you are interested or have
questions, please contact me directly at tiah.edmunson-morton@oregonstate.edu
and I can fill you in on the
details.
