Archives and Archivists

Archives are organized collections of historical documents, records, and artifacts preserved for their long-term value, providing insight into past events, organizations, and individuals. Archivists are trained professionals responsible for acquiring, appraising, preserving, and providing access to these collections. They ensure that valuable records are maintained properly and are accessible for research and public knowledge. Essentially, archives safeguard our collective history, while archivists manage and protect these resources to ensure their future availability and integrity.
