Welcome to the 4th annual Archives Month Blog! The Society of American Archivists-Student Chapter of the University of Wisconsin-Madison is proud to welcome you to share in another month’s worth of posts and pictures in honor of American Archives Month. This year’s theme, “Born in Wisconsin,” invites people and organizations around the state to reflect on the meaning of archives in their lives and society, and to discover the wealth of fascinating materials held by archives in Wisconsin. Throughout the month members of the SAA-SC will be traveling around the state of Wisconsin (and beyond!) to highlight unique collections and organizations, all the while writing blog posts illustrated with photographs of the archives and materials we see. We will report on a variety of archival materials “born,” originating or having roots in Wisconsin: native peoples, individuals, places, ideas, events, products, industries, hoaxes and much more.
We hope you will join us throughout the month to learn about archives, read about the great organizations who preserve them, and share engaging stories about anything and everything “born in Wisconsin!” Check back often, and we’ll see you in the comments.
