 What is Archives Week?
The purpose of Archives Week is to celebrate the value of Georgia's historical
records, publicize the many ways historical records enrich our lives, and
recognize those who maintain our communities' historical records. This is
the ideal time to call attention to your organization or local government and
its work in preserving Georgia's documentary heritage.
Publicity
The celebration will be publicized across the state through proclamations, a
poster, newspaper articles, and events at various
repositories. If you will provide information on your
planned activity, we will be happy to help publicize your event on the Society
of Georgia Archivists' (SGA) web site. See information below
on how to submit information about your event.
Events
We encourage you to think of ways in which your organization or local government
can celebrate Archives Week in your community. Your activity does not have
to be directly related to the theme, but does need to focus on the importance of
archival records. Ideas include creating exhibits, hosting receptions,
giving tours, writing articles, or developing special programs. The scheduled activities for
2006; and images from activities will be posted on the Web site. For ideas, please see the 2005, 2004,
2003, 2002, 2001, or 2000 activities pages.
In
addition, other states' Archives Week activities can be
found on the Council of State Archivists' (COSA) Archives
Week directory.
