American Archives Month

American Archives Month is celebrated every October to raise awareness about the importance of archives and the vital role they play in preserving historical records. It highlights the work of archivists who organize, protect, and provide access to documents and materials that tell the story of our collective past. Activities during this month often include public events, educational programs, and exhibitions that showcase unique collections and promote the significance of preserving our history for future generations. The month serves to engage the public in understanding and valuing the rich resources held in archives across the country.
