Did you know that October is American Archives Month? Archives and archivists are tasked with acquiring, preserving, and providing access to original, primary-source materials (documents, maps, photos, rare books, and films) in their collections. An Archives “Bizarre” is an opportunity to display archival materials from multiple institutions in one place – specifically those items that are truly unique, kooky, artistic, or—yes—just plain weird.

Visit with archivists displaying items held in the State Archives of New Mexico, the University of New Mexico (including their Health Sciences Library), the New Mexico History Museum (Palace of the Governors Photo Archives and the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library), Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Aztec Ruins National Monument, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the New Mexico Supreme Court Law Library, the Philmont Museum, and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Learn more about what archivists do and how you can best manage your own personal archives.

If RSVP is sold out, please come on site. We will be able to accommodate you seeing this awesome event!
