CoSA is a professional nonprofit organization of the official government repositories of the fifty states, five territories, and the District of Columbia. CoSA members are the state-level counterparts of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). State archives perform parallel functions for preservation of and access to government records documenting the rights of citizens, assuring government accountability, and connecting all Americans with our individual and shared histories.
CoSA leadership has reviewed Dr. Colleen Shogan's professional qualifications and has had the occasion to have purposeful interaction with her since the nomination announcement. Her diverse professional experience in libraries, academia, and government and nonprofit institutions is an asset for leading NARA by strengthening its core functions as the nation's administrator of government records law and contributing to public dialogue on our constitutional democracy.
CoSA heartily supports Dr. Shogan’s confirmation and is optimistic about the future of NARA under her leadership.#IssueBriefsPositionStatements
