		Each Chapter shall maintain archives. A Chapter may elect either to maintain its own archives or to contribute material to the Association archives. Since Chapters are part of the Special Libraries Association, all archives are, ultimately, the property of the Association.  Chapters should treat their archival material with the highest level of professional competence

		The archives should be located in a place easily accessible to Chapter officers or members, not in a private home or office. A retention agreement must be signed by a responsible representative of that institution and approved by the Association.
