This policy was last updated in February of 2017 and was modeled after a similar policy established by Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA 2015).

Over the past few years, ASNJ has built an online presence through the use of social media. Today, we have a website, Facebook Page, Instagram Account and Twitter Account. We want to encourage all ASNJ members, followers and institutions to engage with ASNJ through these various digital mediums for personal use. However, we do request that you do not use our posted content to market your own commercial activities or events without requesting permission from the ASNJ board in advance. Otherwise, feel free to share, tweet, tag, comment and re-post our content.
