Mission Statement:
The Student Organization for Unique and Rare Collections Everywhere, (SOURCE), addresses the interests of students who wish to learn more about special collections, archives, digital archiving, records management, museums, rare books, manuscripts, and preservation.
To increase the visibility of these issues at SCILS, the group coordinates outreach programs and events, encourages curriculum expansion, and creates a supportive network of professionals, faculty, alumni, and organizations with similar interests. This network facilitates the free exchange of information about jobs, internships, and new developments in the field, as well as offers our members advice and support.
Our website serves as a link between the group and those interested in its activities. To encourage communication within the group, our listserv serves as a forum for debate and discussion dealing with these issues. The group extends a welcome to current graduate students, undergraduates, alumni, and prospective students.
