Every year, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) initiates a month-long celebration in October, highlighting a variety of archives and archivists throughout the United States and encouraging people to explore historical records at their local institutions.
Even though Archives Month officially began in October 2006 as a nationwide event, the earliest traces of an organized effort to recognize and celebrate archives date back to 1979.
Since then, Archives Month has inspired archives and archivists to find new ways to connect with their patrons and promote their resources. To join the nationwide celebration, we’re taking the opportunity this year to highlight the Central Piedmont Archives, what we as archivists do, and the resources we make available to the Central Piedmont community.
If you'd like to celebrate with us on social media, use these official hashtags:
