A Profile of Professional Society in Transition: The Society of American Archivists' Membership, 1971-1973

Abstract

One of the continuing questions of the archival profession remains: what are the characteristics of archivists?l Thts report will focus on the responses to an SAA membership questionnaire of October, 1973, in which, interestingly enough, only 40% of the respondents indentified themselves as archivists. The Society used this questionnaire to up-date its 1970 membership directory and to gain a profile of its members.
