Wednesday, October 5, is Ask An Archivist Day on Twitter.
Tomorrow, archivists around the world will take to Twitter to respond to questions tweeted with the hashtag #AskAnArchivist.
This is your opportunity to ask questions you’ve always wanted to ask an archivist. (I may ask the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec when they plan to digitize the Montreal Star.)
The purpose of the day is to break down the barriers that make archivists seem inaccessible. It also allows archivists to hear directly from the public about what interests them and to talk directly to the public via Twitter about what they do and why their work is important.
A list of archives on Twitter that I follow is available on my Twitter profile and open to the public, provided you have a Twitter account.
