Dear RAAC members,

Please share the following information with your regional organization's membership.

In an effort to begin monthly communications with RAAC representatives about all things advocacy related, the RAAC Advocacy Subcommittee looks forward to highlighting existing advocacy resources, articles on advocacy, and any "of the moment" advocacy issues.

This month's recommended reading is brought to you by RAAC Advocacy Subcommittee member Jeremy Brett:

  *   Many Happy Returns: Advocacy and the Development of Archives, Edited by Larry J. Hackman.  Available at the Society of American Archivists book store<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmysaa.archivists.org%2Fproductdetails%3Fid%3Da1B0b00000el1A8EAI&data=04%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C9a7ea4c7ddbc4ac08c4308d8ce1e6539%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637485977227975186%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=CQrNXQx2k8%2ByPrOhyPuCSIlPpVB2ItifCJYIx9Beg0U%3D&reserved=0>.
 "Many Happy Returns specifically targets the individual archivist at all levels and will be of immense value to a wide audience of archival professionals, not simply institutional leaders or managers. All of us who strive for the continuing and increasing success of our institutions over time should find something valuable in this well-written, easily understandable work."  - Jeremy Brett, "Book Reviews," The American Archivist (Fall/Winter 2012)

In addition to the recommended reading above, your memberships may be interested in a National Coalition for History news piece from December 2020 reporting on the FY21 budget for federal history-related programs: https://historycoalition.org/2020/12/22/final-fy-21-budget-for-federal-history-related-programs/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhistorycoalition.org%2F2020%2F12%2F22%2Ffinal-fy-21-budget-for-federal-history-related-programs%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C9a7ea4c7ddbc4ac08c4308d8ce1e6539%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637485977227975186%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=%2F8nJqTr%2B1I%2Fp2v2Y9MthTvC2mx5tkKvoJYor0M4YQLQ%3D&reserved=0>

Cathy and Jeremy,

Thanks so much for recommending Many Happy Returns--it's a great read! I wanted to say that the book, published in 2011, is now out of print but we'll be reissuing it in March as a PDF, ePub, and on Kindle. So stay tuned!! I'll post the links here when they become available.

And if Many Happy Returns has you interested, you may also like Advocacy and Awareness for Archivists <https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmysaa.archivists.org%2Fproductdetails%3Fid%3Da1B0b00000faLDbEAM&data=04%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C6de18a6da50e48d437eb08d8cea2f90b%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637486546666978528%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=AyC5Za7iIB8NlNdDbgGghQHQxLc2zpdGyBkqZbTVk4Q%3D&reserved=0> by Kathleen D. Roe, which came out last year and includes lots of practical examples and exercises for identifying and following through on advocacy goals for your institution.

All best,
Abigail
