The SCAA Blog (or
“web log” for etymology enthusiasts) “Outside the Box” was created in 2016 and
focuses on short pieces of written content. Posts can be submitted for sharing on
the Outside the Box blog by any individuals associated with Archives in
Saskatchewan. Topics may include archival experience, theory, and practice, as
well as provincial heritage and history.
In many fields, “Blogging” is one of the most popular ways of communicating and spreading information and news. There are literally millions of “blogs” on line. You can find links to some interesting archival blogs at the end of this post.
Archive “Bloggers” often write from a personal perspective and share ideas and experiences with other like-minded readers. It allows a way of interacting and connecting with individuals working in various Archives in Saskatchewan and the world.
To be a successful “Archive Blogger”, there is really just one requirement: a passion for Archives J
Why should I become an “Archive Blogger”…
Blogging is about sharing your archives
experience and knowledge with the world.
Choose one topic – an archives event, an archives idea, an archives
process, showcasing your archives or anything connected to archives in
Saskatchewan. This is the start of a successful post.
