Student Chapters

AMIA Student Chapters encourage increased awareness and understanding of the mission of AMIA and the role of archivists in the acquisition, preservation, exhibition and use of moving image media.

Student chapters introduce and integrate new archivists into the profession and enhance formal education by providing a forum for discussion and professional activities. Chapters provide an opportunity to meet and interact with colleagues within the professional community.

Student chapters may organize events, tours, and speakers relating to archives, as well presenting and organizing sessions at AMIA’s annual conference. Chapters are facilitated, supported, and overseen by AMIA’s Education Committee
