Business Archives Section (BAS)
The Business Archives Section (BAS) provides a vital mechanism for archivists to become active in the work of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) and for meeting members with a common interest in managing and providing access to business archives.
The Business Archives Section is comprised of employees of corporations, businesses, non-profit organizations and associations, who administer and provide access to non-current records of a historical or archival nature.
The conduct of business for this section is guided by the by-laws (PDF) that is maintained on this site.
Business Archives in North America: Invest in Your Future, Understand Your Past provides a brief explaination of business archives and the archivist's role in developing, collecting and maintaining the records of business entities. If you are interested in what business archives are all about, this is a good article to start your research.
