Archives Month celebrates WA bridges
If it’s October, then our State Archives
is celebrating its annual Archives Month. This year’s theme is
Washington’s historic bridges, those indispensable links for moving
people and goods around the state. I’m a big fan of our bridges and have
my favorites, as I’m sure you do.
I
want to give you a head’s up that as part of the month-long
celebration, the main State Archives in Olympia and the regional
branches in Bellevue, Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg
will host open houses or Basics of Historical Research workshops on
Saturday, October 24. Contact the State Archives at (360) 586-1492 or research@sos.wa.gov
for more information about these events. Another research workshop will
be held October 10 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Floyd Norgaard Cultural
Center in Stanwood. For more info about the Stanwood workshop, contact
Janette Gomes at the Northwest Regional Archives at janette.gomes@sos.wa.gov or (360) 650-2813.
A
great-looking free poster helps commemorate Archives Month. The poster
(shown here) is available in the State Archives headquarters in Olympia,
the front desk of our Executive Office at the Capitol and at all
regional Archives branches, as well as several local historical
societies, universities with archives/library collections, museums and
heritage centers. Get your poster while supplies last! If you want to
see the digital version of the new poster, just go here. The poster was designed by Archives’ own Benjamin Helle.
