We are teaming up again with Rebecca Goldman of the archives webcomic Derangement and Description to help out us starving NewArchivists afford what can be a very expensive SAA Annual Meeting. If you are looking to spit a hotel room with someone, please use the comment section of this post as a way to find people also looking.
Some useful info to add in your comment might be:
- The dates you will be attending the conference
- The hotel you have reserved or prefer to stay at (conference hotel, other area place, etc.)
- Anything general you think is important for others to know (you prefer a female or male roommate, non smoker, early riser, you have a tendency to suffer from night terrors, etc.)
If you add your email address to the comment form you will be contacted if someone responds.
Don’t forget that if you are a DC area archivist with some room for a person to stay with you during the conference, please add yourself to Crash Space for Archivists.
Thanks to Rebecca for the idea and for all of you for helping our your fellow archival professionals!
Looking for a female roommate. I’m staying August 10-15 (would be willing to stay alone 1 of those nights if your travel plans are different) and would like to book the hotel soon.

Hi–
I saw your post on the message board for SAA. Are you still looking for a roommate? Thanks so much for posting and I look forward to hearing from you.

We’re two female Simmons students looking for a third female to share our hotel room and help cut down the costs! We had a third person who decided not to come. We have a room booked at the conference hotel, and we’re checking in on the 10th, and checking out the morning of the 15th.
Please contact me if you’re interested! monks@simmons.edu
We’ve found a 3rd. Thanks everyone!
ISO male room mate for night of Monday, Aug. 9 only. I have a room with two beds at the conference hotel (D. C. Marriott Wardman Park).

Looking for someone to take over my half of a room in the conference hotel, available August 10-15. My roommate is female.
If you have not already found a female roommate to share a conference hotel room for August 10-15 I would like to apply. Thank you for the opportunity.

Yup, still available! Please email me at rebgold AT gmail dot com.
Roommate found, thanks NewArchivist!
Thank you for the idea!
Hi all – I’m interested in staying at a nearby hostel or hotel in the DC area for the conference, probably the 11th-15th. I don’t have a strong preference for location & my biggest concern is cost. Sharing a large room with multiple people is fine, as well. Let me know if you’d be interested!
