archives advocacy

Archives advocacy involves promoting the value and importance of preserving historical records, documents, and digital content. It aims to raise awareness about how these collections support research, maintain cultural heritage, and ensure access to information for future generations. Advocates work to secure resources, influence policies, and educate the public and decision-makers about the significance of archives. By doing so, they help guarantee that valuable records are preserved, properly managed, and accessible, ensuring that history, knowledge, and accountability are maintained for ongoing learning and societal transparency.
