For Caryn's question:
 
The CA exam is the examination by which one becomes a "Certified Archivist" and member of the Academy of Certified Archivists.  Upon successful completion of the test, candidates receive the "CA" (Certified Archivist) designation.
 
For Virginia government records folk, you may already be doing the work of an "appraisal archivist" by scheduling records and assisting in the location and identification of permanent records series.
 
For further information on the Academy and the certification process, see:

Cheers!

Folks -
 
A quick note for anyone writing the CA exam this year - four persons, so far,  are signing up for Richmond - so a fifth is required.  Please contact me off-list if you are interested.
 
Cheers!
