October is American Archives Month!
To celebrate, archivists in northern and central New Mexico are holding the first ever Archives “Bizarre” on Monday, October 28, 4pm-7pm in the Rainbow Rainbow Room at Meow Wolf in Santa Fe.
This free event is an opportunity to view archival materials from multiple institutions in one place, specifically those items that are unique, kooky, artistic, weird, or—yes—just plain bizarre.
Visit with archivists displaying items held in the State Archives of New Mexico, the University of New Mexico (including their Health Sciences Library), the New Mexico History Museum (Palace of the Governors Photo Archives and the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library), Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Aztec Ruins National Monument, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the New Mexico Supreme Court Law Library, the Philmont Museum, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum.
Learn more about what archivists do and how you can best manage your own personal archives.
