Views, the newsletter for the VMS section, has a new look! Check it out here: saavmsblog.wixsite.com/views

We're also actively looking for more contributions and new contributors. We've decided try a new approach. We will periodically suggest a theme and will welcome contributions of any sort on that theme. You can interpret the theme however you choose. Our first theme to start us off: Struggle. A lot of us have been struggling this past year. What are you struggling with now as an archivist? What is your institution struggling with? Has your archive been documenting the recent social and political struggles? Do you have a collection in your archive about a past struggle or event that resonates with you now? Let us know! We'll still welcome articles on any topic of your choice, too, if you have other projects or news to share.

Submissions can be sent to: saavms.blog@gmail.com
