October is American Archives Month! All month long, the archivists will celebrate with behind-the-scenes content on social media, #AskAnArchivistDay, and two open houses in the Special Collections Library and University Archives. At the open houses we’ll show you the Rare Book Room, the stacks where we house all our materials, as well as our work room where we’ll also display some highlights from the collections.
The first open house will take place on October 8, 2025, from 7 to 9 a.m. The event will be “drop in” only, and we will provide some morning refreshments for those early birds who want to check out some history.
The second open house will take place on October 22, 2025, from 4 to 6 p.m. This event will also be “drop in” only, and some afternoon snacks will be provided for anyone who stops by before heading home for the day.
To keep up with all the behind-the-scenes activities and information and submit your own questions for #AskAnArchivistDay, follow us on social media:
