Attend the
2025 Research Forum

Since its inception in 2007, the Research Forum has been a place where researchers, practitioners, educators, students, and the curious across all sectors of archives and records management come together to share their work in the archives profession. The Forum is a place to discuss, debate, plan, organize, evaluate, or motivate research projects and initiatives.

Now in its nineteenth year, the 2025 Research Forum, hosted by the SAA Committee on Research, Data, and Assessment (CORDA), will take place in the lead-up to ARCHIVES*RECORDS 2025. It will be hosted virtually on Zoom on July 23 and 30, 12:00-4:00 p.m. CT each day. Topics will range across the spectrum of research activities and innovative practices of interest and value to the archives profession.
