Greetings Everyone!
Today marks the start of Archives Awareness Week 2021. Like last year, we are engaging with the event virtually, and the AAO is hosting a 'Twitter Takeover' beginning this afternoon.
You can see the line-up of takeover...ers(?) below, or simply follow along on Twitter<https://twitter.com/aao_tweet?lang=en> using the hashtag #2021AAW. The theme this year is 'Archives@Home' as we discuss the ways archivists and archival users have navigated working and researching from home.
Our goal is to engage with archival workers and users, so please follow along, join in on the conversation, and share the event details/hashtag with your contacts!
All best,
Tys Klumpenhouwer (he/him)
Chair, AAO Communications and Advocacy Committee
