SOA offers five scholarships, two to current students, two to recent graduates, and an identity-based scholarship using funds from our silent auction. This year’s scholarships consist of full registration to the MAC-SOA Annual Meeting, a per diem for lunch costs, hotel accommodations, a one-year SOA membership, and a $100 travel stipend. The funds raised from the silent auction are critical to SOA’s support of students and professionals. This year SOA is putting together a fun group of items. You will be able to bid on the silent auction items in person on Friday in the Performance Hall, with winners selected at 3:00pm.

The Midwest Archives Conference and the Society of Ohio Archivists will hold a joint meeting on May 14-16, 2026 on the campus of The Ohio State University. Conference workshops, sessions, and meetings will be held in the Ohio Union. Hotel accommodations and the reception will be held at the University’s hotel, the Blackwell Inn. The Blackwell is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the Union, and we will provide transportation for anyone who would like to use the service.
From 2015 until 2023, Ohio’s tourism slogan was “Find it Here.” As a slogan, it raised the obvious question “find what here?”; but as an archives motto…well, to “Find it Here” is an archivist’s greatest hope for anyone exploring their collections. Come to Columbus to find information and insights on a wide range of topics central to all archivists. The Education Committee is identifying outstanding workshops, and the Program Committee looks forward to receiving fantastic proposals from members of both MAC and SOA.
