Welcome to the Society for American Archaeology’s tDAR home page.
The Society for American Archaeology (SAA) is an international organization that, since its founding in 1934, has been dedicated to research about and interpretation and protection of the archaeological heritage of the Americas. With nearly 7,000 members, SAA represents professional and avocational archaeologists, archaeology students in colleges and universities, and archaeologists working at Tribal agencies, museums, government agencies, and the private sector.
The SAA’s official records are archived at the National Anthropological Archives (NAA). The NAA finding aid serves as a guide for the contents of the collection, which consists of archives related to promoting an understanding of the history of archaeology in the Americas, the organization's accomplishments and contributions to the major debates about practice, methods, and knowledge of the field, and the history of the SAA.
SAA has partnered with Digital Antiquity to make a portion of its official archive more accessible and searchable electronically. This includes the SAA Meeting Abstracts and Presentations from 2015 to the present, and Board Books that document the work of the SAA.
For more information about the official SAA Archive and the work of the Society’s Archive Committee, please visit https://www.saa.org/quick-nav/about-saa/saa-archive.
