Fellow archives workers, what is one of your favorites of the weird reference questions you've gotten? Many years ago when I was a student worker, someone called to ask if the terracotta roof tiles at the university represented the blood of Indigenous people. #AskAnArchivist

This month is American Archives Month! Today is #AskanArchivist Day. Ask me anything you would like to know about archives, your grandparents' diaries (a frequent ask), or the strange collections your local archives has (there are always a few)!

We collaborated with the Maryland State Archives today for #AskAnArchivist! University and government archives unite 🤝

It's #AskAnArchivist Day! Ask questions about archives and the work of archivists! Like, what is in the safe next to your office??

For #AskAnArchivist Day: HOW MANY ABSTRACTS OR RESEARCH TITLES BY #AOBPOSTDOCS DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR RECORDS?

What's Up Wednesdays! Today is Ask an Archivist Day. What do you want to ask our team?

Archivist Kit Whitten opens the vault for #AskAnArchivist Day!

Let’s be honest, #AskAnArchivist Day is usually just institutional accounts talking to each other.

Everyone always wants to #AskAnArchivist how they became one. Which is fun because all our stories are so different! 1/3

Also #AskAnArchivist, for those who aren’t congested.

I asked my colleagues and answers ranged from "only if I can't find the paperweights" to "on purpose yes if my nails look nice" #AskAnArchivist
