ARCHIVISTS OF RELIGIOUS COLLECTIONS

Purpose:
The Roundtable of Archivists of Religious Collections (RARC) will encourage collaboration between archivists of religious institutions and those who preserve religious collections.

Goals and Objectives:

• Meet and get acquainted, ask questions, and plan events. 
• Discuss similarities and differences regarding the scope of their collections, policies and procedures, and missions and goals of their respective institutions. 
• Explore ramifications of current questions of particular interest to religious archives: accession/deaccession; confidentiality; visibility; research. 
• Address the visibility and accessibility (including confidentiality) of collections to current and potential users. 
• Plan workshops and events (with other roundtables or groups) to address questions, concerns, and help improve the overall maintenance of, and access to, religious collections.
