CRAG's mission

CRAG's mission is to provide "a periodic forum where professionals and others who work with historical records in archival and manuscript repositories and elsewhere may gather to learn about new ideas and techniques, to discuss common concerns, and to enjoy each others' company." In other words, we offer a chance for you to meet and mingle with colleagues and perhaps learn a thing or two in an informal setting. At least, we used to.

About CRAG

CRAG was founded in 1989 as an independent group formed as an outgrowth of the Committee on Hartford Historical Resources and the Pioneer Valley Archival Group. Geographically, CRAG roughly spans the Amherst-Springfield-Hartford region, but we have attendees from beyond that as well. Meetings and events are generally held throughout the area three times a year, in winter, spring, and fall, and consist of a variety of formats. (See the events page for more information.) You're welcome to come for any or all of the meeting.

CRAG's operation is handled by a volunteer committee which coordinates meetings with member assistance.
