New York Archives Week events are designed to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving and making accessible our documentary heritage. Activities include a wide range of programming, including lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and tours of repositories, all free and open to the public. In addition, as part of an effort to draw public attention to New York Archives Week and highlight the importance of our repositories and collections, ART will sponsor three events: a full-day symposium co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish History titled “Disaster Planning for Archives and their Communities” (October 7), honor our colleagues at the annual ART Awards Ceremony (October 10), and the fourth annual K-12 Archives Education Institute.

  is a major sponsor of New York Archives Week.
