The Outreach Subcommittee of Chicago Area Archivists would love to feature stories from your archives related to this year's theme: Leadership and Legacy in History. We are looking for stories around 150-300 words and we are happy to direct readers back to your site and resources. We also welcome any pictures or graphics, as long as they are owned by your institution and we can cite them appropriately. Please email your stories to info@chicagoarchivists.org so that we can put them up on the website.
The Society of American Archivists also started their own archives awareness project, A Year of Living Dangerously, where you can submit your stories about archives and positive change for Archives month as well.
Also don't forget about our archivist happy hour on Tuesday, October 21st! Stop by and mingle with other archivists, see some merchandise from our forthcoming CafePress store, and take home a button or two with our new logo!
