Today is the opening day of what has really become "archives season" across
the United States. Several western states have designated the entire month
of October as "Archives Month." Archivists in many other states and cities
have planned Archives Week activities throughout October and November. See
the Archives Week Directory at http://www.coshrc.org/arc/archweekdir.htm for
all of the details and links to specific programs.
Be sure to look at the Archives Week Poster Gallery for some inspiring
images! http://www.coshrc.org/arc/archweekposters.htm
October 1st is the beginning of "Archives Month" celebrations in Colorado,
Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming celebrate throughout October 2004. The Society of
Rocky Mountain Archivists is coordinating activities throughout its region
all month.

If you have an event planned that isn't listed, send me the details and I'll
add it to the Archives Week Directory right away. My email service has been
erratic this week, so if you sent me a notice and I didn't respond, please
resend it. I want to make sure to catch every event!
Good luck with all your events and Happy Archives Week/Month to all!
