SRMA was formed in 1979, when a group of Denver-area archivists founded the Society of Colorado Archivists. In 1992, Wyoming archival professionals requested membership in the Society and with this inclusion, the name changed to reflect members’ locations throughout the Rocky Mountain area. In 2004, the Society merged with the Colorado Preservation Alliance to further common interests.
Membership is open to any person institution interested in archival activity in the Rocky Mountain region. The commonality of members is that all are concerned with the access and preservation of the evolving historical record. If you have any questions about joining SRMA, please contact the Membership Coordinator or fill out the membership form.
Dean David Dynak at UCD’s College of Arts & Media has announced that Anne Smatla has been named managing director for the Denver Silent Film Festival.
