Helping caretakers of Los Angeles related archival materials make informed decisions about their collections by providing approachable guidance.
The Archives at Risk Committee (AARC) is engaged in creating support resources for LAAS member archives needing, anticipating, or facing change - before any of these changes become an archives emergency. The committee’s core mission is piloting a collection self-assessment program and providing an online “Help Desk” style FAQ aimed at helping caretakers of Los Angeles related archival materials make their own informed decisions. At the end of the self-assessment program, and after meeting with committee members, each participating archive receives a final report offering a “roadmap” to help them move forward.The program is a great way for collection stewards to take a pulse check and have a “second set of eyes” assess their archive.
