3rd Annual San Francisco Archives Crawl | SFSU

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join San Francisco archival repositories for San Francisco’s 3rd Archives Crawl. San Francisco’s Archives Crawl is designed to celebrate archives in the Bay Area and encourages guests to explore and engage with institutions that collect, preserve, and provide access to archival material.

Visit institutions you may not have visited before, pose questions, learn more about what an archive is and what archivists do, and view archival materials closeup.

The theme for the crawl is The Histories of California in 10 Objects and we are celebrating in October which is American Archives Month.
