New England Archivists

Outreach Committee Programs

Currently, the Outreach Committee has two programs underway:

Archives on the Road, a take on the popular PBS series Antiques Road Show offers people an opportunity to speak to an archivist about their family papers, scrapbooks, diaries, letters, photographs, and other archival objects for the purpose of discussing their historical value (not their monetary value), and learning about the options available to care for them.
Annual Archives Week recognition activities, including publication of free bookmarks featuring photographs from the collections of New England repositories and the procurement of Archives Week proclamations.
Mass. Memories Road Show, the Outreach Committee is a proud partner of the Massachusetts Studies Project on this innovative approach to documentation. Our "Archives on the Road" program provides preservation education and materials for contributors to MSP's online database of primary sources.
