Before the A*CENSUS project started, we had identified 60-65 separate associations serving professional archivists in the U.S. An analysis of A*CENSUS data suggests that the actual number of associations is significantly higher, perhaps more than 80! You can see a complete list of the associations we have identified to date at _http://www.coshrc.org/connections/archivalassns.htm_ (http://www.coshrc.org/connections/archivalassns.htm) . SAA and COSHRC have worked together over the last couple of years to facilitate communications among all of the archival associations in the U.S. Quick and effective information sharing is especially important when challenged, like we are today, with responding to the proposed reductions in NHPRC and NARA funding. One or more A*CENSUS respondents said they belonged to the following organizations. I would appreciate hearing from leaders (or members) of these organizations to verify that the organizations do exist and to add one or more representatives from each of them to our contact list. If they have websites, please send the URLs as well.
