Honestly, who knew?
Regardless, Happy International Archives Week! The theme for this year is #ArchivesAreYou.
This week commemorates the founding of the International Council on Archives (ICA). It gives archivists a time to call greater attention to the importance of archives and the people who work in them.
“Archives Are You” captures the idea that archivists leave their unique traces on the archives. They also make appraisal decisions and choose how deeply to describe different series of records. The National Archives serves everyone, and we want our services to welcome the broadest possible range of people. Both for archivists and researchers, “Archives Are You.” *
When I first started at MedChi and was going through the archives, I was overwhelmed by our 200+ years of history and how closely our founding members, our members today, and all of those in between are woven through the fabric of our lives. This blog is here to preserve some of those memories so they are not lost in the mists of time.
