What Does The Future Hold for Our Past?
A new State Archives building is under construction and, with it, the promise of state of the art storage and access to historical materials. Hear about how the Archives is planning for future, what you can expect to find when the new building opens—and what you won’t find there, and learn about new initiatives that will make historical records even more accessible in the future.
David Carmicheal is the State Archivist of Pennsylvania. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Society of American Archivists, and one of his books, Organizing Archival Records, has provided practical guidance to small, volunteer-led archives for over 25 years and is now in its fourth edition.
Meetings are FREE and open to the public.
