Institutional Membership

Institutional members are accredited by the ASA. These members have an operational mandate, a formal commitment of resources, a public access policy, availability to the public, and operating procedures consistent with generally recognized archival practices. Our current list of institutional members can be found in our directory.

This list of members is recommended to the public seeking to donate archival materials, as these archival organizations adhere to best practices in the profession.

Membership dues are based upon operating budgets of the archival organization. To receive an institutional membership application package, please e-mail Rene Georgopalis, Executive Director/Archives Advisor, at reneg@archivalberta.org.
