Abstract:
ALA divisions, round tables, & other units spend a tremendous amount of time serving the needs of their members, but the organizational record of this service is often lost when leaders finish serving their terms. Succession without documentation leaves many ALA units without shared memory of decisions & accomplishments. We designed archiving policies & processes for the Map & Geospatial Information Round Table (MAGIRT) to deposit materials into the ALA Institutional Repository (ALAIR). The archiving program we have developed for MAGIRT also serves as a model for other ALA units.
