Need ideas for making your archives program and your profession more visible during American Archives Month? We've got four easy ways to get involved this October:

  1.  Participate in #AskAnArchivist Day on Wednesday, October 2, when archivists around the country will answer questions about archives. Find ideas <https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchivists.us3.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D56c4cfbec1ee5b2a284e7e9d6%26id%3Dfff9a00276%26e%3D5caf3521aa&data=02%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7Ce3a860a3fb164505cf0a08d745cc1fb0%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C637054615318113492&sdata=G343gD5TDEgO7qOhDpI%2F%2FM35TiyGRKo4veEvdH9Gr%2Bs%3D&reserved=0> for promoting the day among your users and developing a plan with your colleagues to respond to tweets.

  2.  Advocate for Archives! Find out when your Representative and Senators will be at "home" during American Archives Month. It's the perfect time to begin building a relationship!

  3.  Plan an event or issue a press release to attract media coverage.
