CSU Special Collections and Archives Community of Practice

CSU Special Collections and Archives Community of Practice

The California State University Archives Roundtable was established in 2016 by Berlin Loa and Pam Kruger as a community of practice to bridge the CSU campus archives and archivists, continuing the CSU-wide efforts that began in 1996. The mission of the CSU Archives Roundtable is to:

  • Promote the CSU Archives and Special Collections Departments
  • Establish an information exchange network for archivists in the CSU
  • Increase public awareness of CSU Archives and Special Collections
  • Create a professional collective archival voice within the CSU system
  • Create space for conversation about archives and special collections within the CSU
