Hi!  I’m an SIS alumnae and one of the editors-at-large for The American Archivist Reviews Portal, which is part of the Society of American Archivists. We are seeking new contributors to grow the portal. You do not need to be an SAA member to submit reviews. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to contact me or Reviews Portal Coordinator, Gloria Gonzalez ([log in to unmask]).

The American Archivist Reviews Portal complements the journal’s reviews as a space for evaluations of software, tools, digital projects, services, websites, and resources that archivists create and use. Visit the Reviews Portal to learn how these resources are used for the preservation and stewardship of digital archival material, as well as generating greater engagement with users.
