Programs around New York:

New York State Archives Month

October is New York State Archives month—and American Archives Month.  It is a time to celebrate and promote the rich and diverse documentary heritage of the state by increasing public awareness of archival materials and repositories and by acknowledging the importance of our records keepers.

During the month, archives, historical societies, libraries, local governments, and museums in New York State celebrate with exhibits, presentations, banquets, and award ceremonies.

Learn how you can participate, and use the sample action guides to obtain useful advice and guidance as you plan your Archives Month celebrations. You can find out about Archives Month Events and Activities in your area by exploring the websites of the Archives' Regional Documentary Heritage Programs. You can also view what other states are doing and see past years of NY Archives Month posters.

The Society of American Archivists offers a free American Archives Month Public Relations Kit, which provides basic materials that will give every archivist the opportunity to make his or her archives program more visible.
