City To Celebrate Archives Awareness Week
The City of Tampa will celebrate Archives Aware- ness Week with exhibits and programs taking place at local archives throughout the week of July 10, 2016 – 16, 2016. These programs are free and open to the public.
Archives Awareness Week was established in 1992 by the City of Tampa Archives Advisory Commit- tee. During this week, local archivists and history en- thusiasts come together to present their collections through exhibits and pro- grams that convey the value of archives in the identifica- tion, preservation and con- servation of historic records.
Archives Awareness Week is held during the sec- ond week of July to coincide with the City of Tampa’s July 15th birthday.
