The ACA is conducting a survey as part of an updated job analysis to assess the skills and responsibilities that comprise archival work and define the archivist profession in 2024 and beyond. We would appreciate your participation. The results of the new job analysis will provide crucial information to the profession about how archives jobs have changed with the advent of new technologies, new processes, and new theories. ACA hopes to share the results of the survey with all Archivists through the SAA 2025 Research Forum.

The survey should take about 40 minutes to complete. While the survey may be completed on a phone or mobile device, ACA recommends completing the survey using a desktop computer or laptop for readability. You may leave the survey and finish at a later time by clicking the link again. The survey will close April 18, and we appreciate your participation. 

To take the survey please go to: https://kryteriononline.co1.qualtrics.com/j fe/form/SV_0GqxEPw7I147PO6

In a change from previous years, the Reading List is no longer organized by Domain but instead as a bibliography with notations of all the domains a source covers. Many sources touch on multiple domains, and the Exam Development Committee hopes this new format helps guide your studying. When available, there is a link to an open access version of a source as well.

The Study Guide has also been updated. We recommend you start by reviewing the Role Delineation Statement, and review the key archival terms and concepts. Also included are some study tips, primarily based on the experiences of past exam candidates.

Throughout the next few months, we encourage you to ask questions of the ACA and each other. Teams channels are set up where you can post general questions or specific ones about a domain. If you are interested, email examadmin@certifiedarchivists.org to get added to a Teams group.

We wish you the best of luck as you study!
