2026 KCAA Winter Meetup
If you have more info saved in ancestry.com for other people than you do for your own family, you might be an archivist! Genealogy is an important tool in the archivist’s toolbox, and we are fortunate to have a significant genealogy library in our backyard, the Midwest Genealogy Center of the Mid-Continent Public Library. Come learn more about this useful resource through an intro and tour of their collection and archives with Director Katie Smith and Archivist John Mason. Even though it will be well into March, since Punxsutawney Phil indicated six more weeks of winter earlier this month, we are going to count this as the winter one! See you there.
When: Friday, March 13th at 3:30pm
Where: Midwest Genealogy Center
3440 S. Lee’s Summit Road
Independence, MO 64055
This event is free for KCAA members, but registration is requested.
KCAA is Seeking Committee Leaders and Members
Becoming active with KCAA is a great way to meet other archivists and learn more about the profession. Committee chairs and officers will have the chance to build leadership skills as well as advance the mission of the organization. KCAA depends on member volunteers and cannot operate without you. Please consider volunteering for the following openings:
Website Admin
The Website Administrator is responsible for updating the organizations website. They will work with the officers of the organization to prioritize what information should be highlighted online.
KCAA Meeting Hosts Needed
KCAA is looking for member institutions willing to host upcoming meetings. Is your institution is willing and able to host a future Spring Meeting, Fall Symposium, or networking event? The requirements for hosting include, at minimum, the ability to seat between 30 to 40 attendees and the ability to have food and drink in the meeting area. Access to A/V equipment or hook-ups will also likely be required.
Thank you for your consideration.
