October is Archives Month!


October is Archives Month across the country and here in the Puget Sound, there are celebrations being offered for free, such as educational workshops and informational fairs to let the public know who archivists are, what they do, and what types of materials and repositories there are in the area.


The theme of Washington State Archives Month is “Fairs and Festivals,” and what better way to celebrate than by hosting a fair of our own, or even better, two fairs.
