*Archives Month 2021: Make Plans, Share Your Plans, Sign Up to Give a
Virtual Tour!*
October is American Archives Month and we want to take the opportunity to
highlight and celebrate archives all throughout Ohio!
This year, the Society of Ohio Archivists Advocacy and Outreach Committee
would like to offer a few virtual opportunities in October to invite the
public “in” to our archives.

We have set up four options on Tuesday afternoons in October to allow Ohio
archival repositories to sign up to give a brief virtual tour during a
one-hour Zoom meeting. This is a chance to show off your place, your
coolest things, whatever you’d like!

The one-hour Zoom meetings are on Tuesdays. October 5th and 19th are at
12:15 pm, and October 12 and 26 are at 2:15pm.
Each Tuesday time slot can have up to 6 archives providing a tour, giving
8-10 minutes per archive (pre-recorded or live–your choice!).
(Multiple employees/representatives from an archive are welcome to attend
the Zoom where your organization will be featured.)

Sign up for your preferred date and tour time using the form here:
https://cutt.ly/OhioArchiveTours.
After signing up, you’ll receive the link for your date.

We’ll share a graphic/flyer that can be shared with details of how the
public can join each session.
In addition, organizational representatives can join to watch and chat/ask
questions on any of the other dates if they just want to see other archives!

See the virtual tours <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-7nRID7NoQ> from
our June Annual Meeting.

This is a fun opportunity for us archivists too, not just the public! We
hope you can join any of the days available!

*Other ways to celebrate Archives Month*
Hold an Event: If your archive site hasn’t made plans yet to do something
to celebrate and acknowledge Archives Month, we encourage you to hold some
sort of event (in person or virtual) to let people get to know your
archives!

Let us know: If you already have something planned (like an open house,
talk, etc.), please share the details so that we can publish a list of Ohio
Archives Month activities around the state on the SOA website. You can send
event details to Advocacy and Outreach Committee Cochair Natalie Fritz.
