Did you know that archives are more than just "old stuff?" Archives hold essential evidence of our democracy, help secure our rights under the law, and provide the means to hold our leaders accountable. #AskAnArchivist

And a shoutout to all of the archivists who cannot participate in #AskAnArchivist this year because of the shutdown.

People always asked me what a typical day was like in the life of an archivist. I always said there was no such thing! It may involve processing work, answering reference inquiries, digitization, doing outreach, digital preservation, training students, and administration. #AskAnArchivist

The answer to that changes frequently, but currently favorites include an oral history of a community theater troupe, an 1869 letter documenting a transcontinental railroad trip, and watercolor sketchbooks showing the mining boom communities of the late 19thC. #AskAnArchivist

It’s #AskAnArchivist Day! We’ll be sharing the University Archivists’ responses to some select questions throughout the day. Our first question: What is something they have found tucked away in between archival documents? As you’ll see, truly, the sky is the limit.
