Kenneth Spencer Research Library

October is American Archives Month, a nationwide effort spearheaded by the Society of American Archivists to raise public awareness about the importance of historic documents and records and the importance of archivists. Spencer Research Library has a robust schedule of special events happening this October to celebrate Archives Month. All events are free and open to the public. We hope to see you at one, or even more!
