The latest issue of Archeota was published this past Monday on December 5, 2016! This issue is Voume 2, Issue 2 of this open-source digital publication. SJSU SAASC is proud to continue this entirely student-run publication that is an outlet for SJSU SAASC to profile its current officers, promote and highlight SAA and SJSU SAASC activities and events, discuss happenings in the archival field, introduce students to professional responsibilities; and most importantly, functions as a platform for students to create original content.

In current issue, you can read about our new team members, learn about what classes students have found most useful, find out more about oral history and the digital record, and unwind in the quote corner. You can view the full issue here: 
http://sjsusaasc.weebly.com/archeota.html

We also wanted to officially welcome the new editorial team that will be taking over this Spring! Our Managing Editor-in-Training, Kimberlee Frederick, worked closely with our outgoing Managing Editor, Catherine Folnovic, to put together the current issue and learn the ropes. Joining Kimberlee is our new General Editor, Jennifer Castle, who also contributed to the current issue and will be working with Kimberlee on the Spring 2017 issue.

Welcome Kimberlee and Jennifer and enjoy the Fall 2016 issue of Archeota!
