MembershipMARAC is an association of individuals interested in the preservation and use of archival and historical research materials. Its mission is to assist and support the professional and volunteer archivists, manuscript curators, and records managers in obtaining continuing education, and to provide collegial networking opportunities. Nearly 1000 members, in seven states and the District of Columbia, serve government agencies, academic institutions, churches, businesses, historical societies, libraries, museums, and professional associations. MARAC is divided into state caucuses, which provide opportunities for members to discuss, initiate action, and promote statewide archival needs, activities, and issues and to exchange information with local colleagues. All members may select one caucus as part of their membership and may choose to join additional caucuses for a nominal fee. MARAC encourages active participation in a variety of committees and positions as well as offering scholarships to archivists and graduate students in the MARAC region.
