[SOA] October is Archives Month

[Angela O'Neal]

All eyes are on the upcoming election, and the Society of Ohio Archivists is building on the enthusiasm generated by this historic event with the theme of this year's Archives Month: Elections in the Archives. The focus is on the voting process. Ohio has a rich history of election firsts, including Florence Harding, first First Lady to vote, and Florence Allen, first woman elected to a state supreme court. Your organization can participate in October's observance by displaying the Archives Month poster or by hosting a special Archives Month program, website, exhibit, or display. Members will receive a poster in the mail or you can pick up extra copies at the Ohio Association of Historical Societies & Museums Annual Meeting and Conference October 2-4.
 
Already planning for Archives Month? To have your Archives Month event publicized through the Society of Ohio Archivists website and listserv, or for more on Archives Month, contact Louise Jones, ljones at ohiohistory.org.
