OK - maybe this Miss Archives Contest (discontinued) wasn’t a great idea... (1966, National Archives ID 3493272).

We even have Archives Sleepovers!  But not every night, and not during pandemics, but we do have a virtual PJ party this Saturday!

MAD LIBS - ARCHIVES STYLE!

Celebrate American Archives Month with us!  For some Friday fun, share this archives-themed word game (top graphic) with a friend!

Despite nasty rumors to the contrary, archivists are FUN! Learn what our archivists do every day!  

Speaking of fun, here’s a great idea for kids - Virtual PJ Party tomorrow night!

On October 7, archivists around the country will take to Twitter to answer your questions about any and all things archives. This day-long event, sponsored by the Society of American Archivists will give you the opportunity to connect directly with archivists in your community - and around the country - to ask questions get information, or just satisfy your curiosity. As professional experts who do the exciting work of protecting and sharing important historical materials, archivists have many stories to share about the work they do every day in preserving fascinating documents, photographs, audio and visual materials, and artifacts. Archival work extends beyond the physical and includes digital materials. #AskAnArchivist Day will give you a chance to connect with archivists who are tackling the challenges of preserving our digital heritage for the future. To participate, all you need is a Twitter account. Ask your questions including the hashtag #AskAnArchivist. Include @IngallsLibrary for questions specific to the Cleveland Museum of Art. Any and all archive-y questions are welcome!
