The Midwest Archives Conference (MAC) was organized at a June 1972 meeting attended by 111
interested professionals. Since its founding the organization has grown into one of the
largest regional archival associations in the country. Members include archivists,
manuscript curators, librarians, records managers, historians, and allied professionals
working in historical societies; local, state, and federal archives; college and university
archives; religious archives; health science archives; and corporate archives. The MAC
region covers thirteen states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
MAC holds an annual meeting in spring and a symposium in the fall in cities throughout the
region. The organization publishes a quarterly newsletter and a professional journal.
