#ExploreYourArchive theme today is #YourArchive.
My archive is in fact, your archive. Our aim is to preserve and make accessible this legacy for the nation and beyond. We work on a collection that talks about you.

For today’s Explore Your Archive theme of #EYAFamily, we just don't know where to start... Families in @msp-archive.bsky.social are everywhere. Families together, formed through local marriages, emigrated, divided, forgotten and found again.

This is just one file. One claim. One file among tens of thousands that has suffered constant transfers between offices since the 20s, constant handling for years and a life of bad storage. Your suffering stops here, my 'little' friend. #Archives #Preservation
