Archives Month Tour of the Library of Virginia - 10 a.m.

Explore an archival institution near you in October for American Archives Month, starting with a tour of the Library of Virginia! Archives Month celebrates those institutions and individuals that help to preserve and make accessible the important records of our actions as residents, businesses, religious groups, government and society. This work can give us a sense of being part of a larger picture and helps us begin to recognize our connections to others — family, community, nation or a group defined by ethnicity, religion, work or play.

This guided tour starts at 10 a.m. and will take visitors through the Library's second floor, archival storage, special collections area and the digitization lab. Reserve your spot soon!

NOTE: Another tour will be held at 2 p.m. on the same day. You can sign up for that tour here.

This year’s Virginia Archives Month theme is "Remember Me: Death and Memorial in the Archives.”

After the tour, attendees will have the opportunity to explore other activities as part of the Library’s Archives Month Open House:

10 a.m. – 2 p.m. | LVA Open House Tables Library staff members will share information about additional LVA programming including upcoming events and on-going volunteer opportunities.
