The Academy of Certified Archivists is an independent, non-profit organization for certifying professional archivists. Established in 1989, more than 1000 archivists are now certified.  Certification requires demonstrating a mastery of a defined body of knowledge and skills for successful archival practice, through a combination of graduate education, experience, and examination. Academy members are certified for a five-year period. Renewal depends on continuing professional involvement and growth. Within the archival profession, the "CA" designation is a mark of attainment, distinction, and commitment.
