#WhyArchives Archives matter. Accountability, transparency, knowledge. Items from the site have been used in classrooms, books, interpretive signs. They provide context. Sometimes they remind us of what we've forgotten. Thanks @ARAScot for taking us on this #Archive30 journey!
#Archive30 Day 29: #ArchiveGoals Peter Haase at the West Bona summit of Mt. Bona. Photo info: bit.ly/3sdQkD9 Partner: @uaflibrary
#SomethingBig for the 28th day of #Archive30 is this king crab. Photo from our Kodiak Historical Society partner. Photo info: bit.ly/39NAclk
#Archive30 Day 27: #ArchiveCollection For this day we'd like to point you to 37 of the designs submitted for the Alaska State Flag competition. Collection: bit.ly/3ef8f7J @AKStateLibrary
#Archive30 day 26 #SomethingScary We're not making any judgments, but just saying, not everybody is a fan of clowns. bit.ly/3a4WK11 partner: @clarchives
#Archive30 Day 25 #ConservationWin In some ways, everything our partners put up on the site counts as a win for conservation: digital access copies are great for access and for reducing wear and tear on the originals. Here's one diary: bit.ly/3g7pMkt @AKStateLibrary
#Archive30 Day 24 #MiniMilestones We don't know if you've ever driven past this road marker at the Alaska-Canada border, mile 1223 of the Alaska Highway, but it probably didn't feel so mini to you. Photo info: bit.ly/3dX07sd Partner: @uaflibrary
#ArchiveInclusion is the theme of #Archive30 Day 23. Thank you to our partner, the Sitka Tribe, for choosing to put up some Tlingit language materials, including this version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. bit.ly/3wS0Pzs
#Archive30 Day 22: #ArchiveFashion 2 girls & a dog in a Seward doorway. The girls are turned out in dresses and bonnets. Not sure if the dog's fur coat technically counts as fashion. Photo info: bit.ly/3uES1ey From our Seward Community Library Association partner
Day 21 of #Archive30 is #ArchivePeople Here's people boarding a float for the Elizabeth Peratrovich/Amy Hallingstad Day Parade in Petersburg. Photo info: bit.ly/3e28PFp from our partner Petersburg Public Library
#SomethingNew on day 20 of #Archive30. How about our newest partner, the Museum of the Aleutians? They just joined last year. If you'd like to browse through the over 900 items they've added so far: bit.ly/2RBa6vX
For the 19th of #Archive30, #ArchiveMystery we bring you RB the Cat and encourage you to watch this news report about the mystery of RB. Video: bit.ly/2PMTAbg
#Archive30 day 18 is #ArchiveBuilding When items are uploaded to the site, the software goes through them and adds all their search terms to make your searches faster. This is called indexing and it's what "builds" the site! Or at least the searchability of the site.
#ArchiveAdvice Want to re-use an item or provide more info about it to the partner that has it? The unique identifier on each item lets them know which item(s) you're talking about! Photo info: bit.ly/2OGFuYA from @AnchorageMuseum #Archive30 day 17
16th day of #Archive30, #ArchiveEnvironment from our @AKStateLibrary partner. Just kidding. Our vaults may be "colder" storage but even we don't go this far. Too much water in this environment, for one! Photo info: bit.ly/3mkK7nL
#Archive30 Day 15 #YourWorkplace Maybe some of our partners will chime in. Here's scanning of glass lantern slides happening at @clarchives and the photo as it appears on the site. Photo info: bit.ly/3dcmMld
#FavouriteItem (or #FavoriteItem for some of us) for #Archive30 Day 14 is a tough one: the site has 101,611 items on it! How to choose? How about our most viewed item from March with 638 views. Photo info: bit.ly/3wP2aad from our partners @uaflibrary
Day 13 of #Archive30 is #UntoldStories. Hard to tell a story when somebody has been deliberately cut out of the picture. Photo info: bit.ly/3motwiA @clarchives
Day 12 of #Archive30 We celebrate #SportArchives with this image of an athlete competing in the one foot high kick at the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics in Fairbanks. Photo info: bit.ly/2PCPYJ1
Day 11 of #Archive30 #Misconceptions: archives = old! It's especially important with digital images to preserve as soon as possible. Our @clarchives partner is saving this 2016 smartphone capture of graffiti at Ship Creek, Anchorage. Photo info: bit.ly/3sSIqQF
