general

Hi, I'm new to the IASA and wanted to join so I can learn more about s+a/V archives because there aren't any classes I can take focusing on this subject at my University. But, I'm sad that there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for new members. There are a bunch of general archives associations that have mentoring programs, but I chose to join this one because I think I want to pursue a career in s+A/V archives and I am also very interested in international issues and by boyfriend is Swiss.
