Archives Week

Archives Week 2003 will be held October 12-18, and local institutions are asked to start thinking about what activities they will be planning in conjunction with this special time.

A mailing will be going out during July requesting the information pertaining to scheduled events. While Archives Week itself isn’t for a few more months, the New York State Archives office has requested this information in August so it can be publicized throughout the state.
