October is Archives Month! Every year, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) initiates a month-long celebration in October, highlighting a variety of archives and archivists throughout the United States and encouraging people to explore historical records at their local institutions.
There are multiple ways to celebrate Archives Month at Central Piedmont:
- Plan a visit to the new Central Piedmont Archives (Central Campus, Parr Center, Hagemeyer Library, Room 3250).
- Explore our virtual exhibits and primary resource guides for instruction.
- Attend our Citizen Archivist workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 18 (12-1 p.m., Hagemeyer Library, Room 2180). This workshop is planned in collaboration with the Central Piedmont History Club. Register to attend.
- Explore our digital databases: CONTENTdm and ArchivesSpace
The Central Piedmont Archives identifies, collects, and preserves materials that relate to the history of Central Piedmont as well as its purpose, mission, and vision in the Charlotte metropolitan region. Our collections are available to Central Piedmont faculty, staff, students, and members of the general public for research, as well as instruction and programming opportunities.
