The Archives Association of British Columbia maintains an electronic mailing list known as "Archives-BC" intended for the exchange of information by, for, and about archives and archivists in British Columbia. Discussions of professional issues, announcements of AABC courses, programmes, or other events, and announcements of special events hosted by archives or related institutions are all welcome.

Please note:

• Gratuitous insults ("flames") and commercial advertisements are NOT welcome.
• The mailing list is NOT set up to accept attachments (files sent "attached" to an email). If the file you want to send contains important information, cut and paste the text directly into the body of an e-mail.
• The mailing list is NOT set up to accept messages from non-subscribers.
• If you get a new email address after subscribing to archives-bc, and you want to remain on the mailing list, please unsubscribe using your old address, and subscribe again with your new one.
