Twitter event on #IAD17 : #archivestourism


International Archives Day 2017 #IAD17 is coming up! Like every year Ask Archivists and Follow An Archive organize a celebration event on Twitter on June 9.

With the celebration event we join the June 9 theme ‘Archives, Citizenship and Interculturalism’ of the International Council on Archives (ICA).
The theme of the annual Twitter event will be: #archivestourism. It’s about tourism in archives.

Archives and tourism


Tourism makes a great match with the ICA theme ‘Archives, Citizenship and Interculturalism’!
Tourism also perfectly matches the 2017 theme of the United Nations: ‘International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development’, #IY2017.

Tourism in archives


Lot of archives keep documents about tourism in their collections. Think of brochures, postcards, photographs taken on holidays in family archives and think of archives of tourist shops or organisations. They all can be a contribution to the Twitter event #archivestourism. The format is quite open, do an infographic, gif, animation, blogpost, podcast, flashmob, picture album - just make sure to tweet it, using the hashtag.

Archives are full of tourism


So, fellow archivists, let's make a tourist tour in our depots and show our most beautiful, special, valuable, extraordinary tourism documents in our archives on June 9, International Archives Day, and contribute to Archives, Citizenship and Interculturalism!

How can we show tourism in our archives?


  •     Brochures of countries, cities, villages, tourist attractions, tourists events, etc.
  •     Postcards of countries, cities, villages, etc. with greetings to loved ones at home
  •     Photographs taken on a holiday or during a touristic event
  •     Books about tourism
  •     Sound, video, film, advertising countries, cities, villages, tourist attractions, tourist events, etc.
  •     Diaries written during a holiday or a touristic event
  •     Portraits of people as tourists or employees of tourist shops
  •     Archives of tourist shops and tourism organisations

Be a tourist yourself and/or with others


  •     Make a tourist tour in your depots, alone, with colleagues, with visitors
  •     Invite children/adults to make a tourist drawing or picture of their visit to your archive
  •     Make an exhibition about tourism in your city in your archives building or in the city, together with a tourist shop or school
  •     Organize a tourist event, make pictures of it and put it on social media
  •     Imagine how archives would be "sold" as tourist destinations and tweet the slogan
  •     Do a touristical flashmob
  •     Make something online and fun with old posters etc. - just gif it up!

#archivestourism: tourism in archives. Let's celebrate with #archivestourism the ICA theme ‘Archives, Citizenship and Interculturalism’ and make a touristical #IAD17 of June 9!

Your contribution, your choice


We just gave some exemples how to join #archivestourism on June 9 on Twitter. Your contribution could naturally also be something completely different: documents of huge importance and great archival beauty that every tourist (and your own citizens!) must have seen.
It is your choice, and we look forward to your contribution.

We hope lots of archives, archivists and all people who love archives will join.
