Smithsonian celebrates October Archives Month by sharing archival and historical records

October is Archives Month. To celebrate, the Smithsonian will host a FREE Archives Fair on Friday, October 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the S. Dillon Ripley Center (National Mall) on the concourse level. The fair, organized by the Archives and Special Collections Council of the Smithsonian, will showcase archival treasures, present speakers spotlighting stories to be told through the archival holdings, and provide time slots for attendees to consult with experts including archivists, conservators, and librarians about their own archives-worthy holdings.  If you can't attend in person, you might be interested in participating virtually.
