The Association of Research Libraries (ARL)/Society of American Archivists (SAA) Mosaic Program was an IMLS-funded program that was active from 2013–2021. ARL received two IMLS grants to support the program (RE-01-13-0022-13 and RE-20-16-0005-16). The ARL/SAA Mosaic Program recruited individuals from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to pursue careers in the archives and special collections fields. The program was designed to address the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the archives profession.
