Celebrate Archives Month with these exciting opportunities!
#AskAnArchivist Day and #ERecsDay Twitter Events
On October 2, archivists around the country will take to Twitter to respond to questions tweeted with the hashtag #AskAnArchivist. Take this opportunity to engage via your personal and/or institutional Twitter accounts and to respond to questions posed directly to you or more generally to all participants.
Questions will vary widely, from the silly (What do archivists talk about around the water cooler?) to the practical (What should I do to be sure that my emails won’t get lost?), but each question will be an opportunity to share more about our work and our profession with the public.
October 10 (10/10) is Electronic Records Day! Follow @OregonArchives all day on #ErecsDay for tips on how to better manage the electronic data in your care, information about preservation efforts around the country, links to resources and maybe a meme or two.
