Academy of Certified Archivists Updates Website
The Academy of Certified Archivists is pleased to announce that its
website has been updated and enhanced. Many of the changes are the result
of suggestions from members and candidates looking for information. Several
new pages have been added that will hopefully answer more questions more
easily. In addition, Survey 1999 has its own page.
The new "Why Certify?" page is targeted to potential members who
will find a link to an article written by a new member and one written by an
employer. The new "Certification" section contains straightforward answers
to frequently asked questions on the certification and examination process,
including the dates and locations of the examination for the years 2000 and
2001. This section also includes a link to the "New Application Guidelines"
for those without a Master's Degree who want to take the examination.
President David Gracy, C.A., commented: "The update shows that the
Board remains committed to its constituents in continuing to provide current
and accurate information. We take seriously the comments and suggestions
from our members and candidates and hope this enhanced website proves to be
even more useful."
Regent for Outreach Phil Mooney, C.A., extended his appreciation to
Pauline Chvilicek of CapuNet LLC for assisting with the transition to the
current web designer, Margeaux Mulligan of Brooklyn, NY. CapuNet remains
ACA's Internet service provider. In the future all questions or comments
related to the website should be directed to the Regent for Outreach. The
site can be accessed at <http://www.certifiedarchivists.org>
