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. Currently, 371 members of SAA belong to the Business Archives Section. The conduct of business for this section is guided by a governance document that is maintained on this site. (Note: This link will take you to a previous version. New documents will be forthcoming.)
