If you have news that you want CAA to post on our social media channels, you can contact Lisa (lisa.geiger@outlook.com) and Derek (rebeldepot@gmail.com) directly, or email info@chicagoarchivists.org with the subject line "Social Media." When submitting content, its helpful to include any or all of the following:
- Links to any associated online content
- Any associated hashtags or images
- Recommended date of posting initial post as well as future reminders.
- Any additional information or “talking points” that might be useful for the social media team to know in responding to any comments or questions that may arise, if applicable.
We also ask that you encourage your institutions and employers to follow us! We want to build our networks so that we can know when there is relevant news to share with our community.
Last but not least, welcome and thanks to Derek and Lisa!
