New England Archives Week



Celebrate Archives Week in New England!

October 20-27 is New England Archives Week.  Culminating
with the New England Archivists organization?s fall meeting in
New Haven, Conn., New England Archives Week is a
celebration of the importance of original historical documents.
All kinds of historical documents have value, whether it is the
original draft of the Constitution of your state or a photograph of
your great-great-grandfather in his Civil War uniform, or even
the minutes of a local Parent-Teacher Organization meeting from
the 1990s.

Archives Week bookmarks being created by NEA will be
distributed to many public libraries, historical societies, and
archives, and will be available free to the public?keep your
eyes peeled for them!

If you are in the Greater Boston area, stop by our ?Archives on
the Road? event, October 22 from 6:00-7:30 at the Codman
Square Branch of the Boston Public Library, 690 Washington
St., Dorchester.  Bring your old photograph, letter, or other
documents and have a professional archivist examine it with you.
 Learn about how to preserve it, discover something about its
historical value, and pick up handouts on archival supplies,
consultants, and other resources.

In addition, NEA encourages individuals and repositories
responsible for acquiring, preserving, or making historical
documents available to host an event, distribute a flyer, or
prepare an exhibit?Archives Week is about you!
