    Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about boxes! We've been reviewing those and trying to figure out our next box steps.

    My next question is for anyone with a roving/traveling archivist, especially one that works through your SHRAB. Can you give me some information about how you set up the program, what kind of responsibilities/tasks they have, the pay, and any other information?

    So funny you post this, Catherine. I was JUST working on a plan for our program. I would be interested in this information as well. Our most recent SHRAB grant award includes funding for a traveling records archivist. I would love to hear more about how other states have set up their programs and what their program goals are for the archivist.
