International Archives Day, celebrated on June 9th, is a special day when people all around the world recognize the importance of archives. Archives are like treasure chests filled with old documents, photos, and records that tell the stories of people, places, and events from the past. They help us understand history and protect our memories. On this day, archivists, the people who take care of these treasures, share their work with others and teach why it's important to keep and preserve these valuable pieces of history. It's like a big show-and-tell about the world's past!
How to celebrate International Archives Day?
Start by visiting a local library or museum with family to explore old photos and documents. Create a mini project by collecting family stories and photos, and display them in a scrapbook. Host a fun game with friends, guessing the year of old pictures. Share what you learn with others, maybe even drawing or making a small poster about something interesting you discovered. You can also video call grandparents or relatives to ask about their past and learn new family stories. Finally, make a time capsule with drawings, notes, or small items to open in the future, remembering this special day.
