Enroll in One – Attend Five

For an archives education that offers high quality and rich diversity, look no further than the SAEC schools. At SAEC schools, archives students have classmates and instructors on five campuses in five different states, but SAEC classes look and feel very much as if everyone were in a single classroom. Interested? Read on.

The SAEC schools, Auburn University, Indiana University, Louisiana State University, Middle Tennessee State University, and the University of Kentucky, share faculty and students through live classes delivered as compressed video over Internet 2 and provide their students one of the finest archives education programs in the United States.

Each university teaches its own Introduction to Archives course and provides two courses, taught by a specialist in the topic, to the partner schools. From Auburn: Advanced Appraisal and the History of Archives and Records Keeping; from Indiana:




Records Management and the Management of Electronic Records; from LSU: a course in the application of EAD, TEI, and MARC and Advanced Issues in Access to Archival Materials; from MTSU: the Management of Archives and Museum Collections and Public Programming for Archives and Museums; and from Kentucky: Oral History and Audio-visual Archives.

The diversity of courses and the specialized knowledge of the faculty make the SAEC offerings challenging and rewarding. The live interaction among students and faculty from five universities make them especially rich. But they cost no more than regular courses on campus. By combining the SAEC courses with their own archives-related courses, all the schools provide a unique archives specialization to students on their home campuses.

For an education in archives management that goes beyond the ordinary, check out the SAEC and the SAEC schools.

“ . . . what do I profess as an archivist? Most simply put: that what we archivists do is essential to the well-being of an enlightened and democratic society
. . .The archival record is a bastion of a just society . . . The archival record assures our rights – as individuals and collectively – to our ownership of our history.
As archivists who maintain the integrity of the historical record, we guard our collective past from becoming the mere creation of “official history.”


—John A. Fleckner, Chief Archivist, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
