Welcome and thank you for visiting the Academy of Certified Archivists (ACA) website. The Academy, as credentialing organization for archivists, proudly promotes professional standards of archival practice, education, and leadership, and encourages participation in the various aspects of the archival enterprise.
The website is designed to assist those seeking information about the certification process; and also serves the needs of our membership by providing answers to frequently asked questions, outlining procedures for taking the certification examination, describing the process for certification maintenance, and much more.
We recognize that the ACA website cannot possible anticipate all of your inquiries; and so if you cannot find what you are seeking, please feel free to contact me, or our membership ombudsman, Martin Levitt, Vice President-President Elect, for assistance or additional information.
Thank you for your interest in the Academy.
