Archives Week and the Power of Intersecting Ripples

Author
  • George W. Bain (Ohio Historical Society)

Abstract

Like ripples on a pond, Archives Week offers archivists a genuinely broadscale public program for connecting with society at large. The article looks at the development of the Archives Week idea to date; focuses in more detail on the program in Ohio; explores a series of questions about the idea's potential expansion as well as structural challenges to it; and makes a general argument for more metropolitan, state, and multistate regional groups beginning their own programs.
