International Archives Day

International Archives Day

On June 9th we celebrate International Archives Day! This day is all about celebrating the work of archivists around the world and the importance of records and archives in our society.

Archives play a vital role in our history and help us to understand the world around us. They provide a window into the past and help us to make sense of the present. They are a valuable resource for researchers, students, family historians and anyone with an interest in the world around them.

International Archives Day is a chance to celebrate the work of archivists and to raise awareness of the importance of archives. So why not take some time to visit your local archives or explore online archives? You might be surprised at what you find!
