Meet the Archivists: An Archives Building Open House

In celebration of Archives Month, Western Libraries Archives & Special Collections and the Washington State Archives will host an Open House at the Goltz-Murray Archives Building (on South campus at 808 25th Street) from 2-4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22. This event is free and open to the public.  

Washington State Archives Month is an annual, statewide event held each October to raise public awareness and highlight the value of historical records and collections throughout the state. Archives Month provides an opportunity for archival institutions and other organizations to engage with their communities and showcase the state's rich historical records.  

During the Open House, archivists and librarians will give introductions and answer questions about collections, archival research, career pathways, and the field of archives and special collections. Attendees can explore samples from the collections and behind-the-scenes tours will also be offered.
