<br />
A lot of campaigns are coming up during the <a href="https://www.ica.org/en/international-archives-week-2019" target="_blank">International Archives Week 2019</a>.<br />
The <a href="https://www.ica.org/en" target="_blank">International Council on Archives</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/ICArchiv" target="_blank">@ICArchiv</a>) introduces a week to celebrate International Archives Day.<br />
The Grande Finale on June 9, International Archives Day, will be organized by the <a href="https://www.archives.org.uk/about/nations-and-regions/ara-scotland.html" target="_blank">Archives and Records Association Scotland</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/arascot" target="_blank">@ARAScot</a>) with an edition of their successful 'something' campaign.<br />
<br />
The Twitter initiatives <a href="https://twitter.com/followanarchive" target="_blank">@FollowAnArchive</a> (2010) and <a href="https://twitter.com/askarchivists" target="_blank">@AskArchivistst</a> (2011) are happy to support the ICA initiative and the ARAScott initiative.<br />
<br />
So we will not, like we have done from 2012 untill 2018, organize an event on Twitter on International Archives Day ourselves.<br />
<br />
The following introduction of International Archives Week is a copy of the text on the website of ICA:<br />
<br />
<h2>

<h2>
</h2>
The International Council on Archives invite you to celebrate the <a href="https://www.ica.org/en/international-archives-week-2019" target="_blank">International Archives Week 2019</a> on the theme of the <a href="https://www.ica.org/en/conference-ica-adelaide-2019-0" target="_blank">conference Adelaide 2019</a>, 'Designing the Archive' which will take place in South Australia from 21 to 25 October.<br />
<br />
From Monday 3 to Sunday 9 June 2019, celebrate the International Archives Week in your institution, your company or your department. Use this global event for archivists and records managers in order to make known the role of archives and share your experience and the importance of your work. Show that the archives profession is fun, inclusive, varied and that your expertise is helpful to everyone<br />
How are you designing your archives for the 21st century?<br />
<br />
Designing the Archive is about putting people at the centre of what we do. The campaign theme will focus on how in the 21st Century our profession -data and information managers, records managers and archivists- can provides opportunities for human-centred design approaches to ensure we deliver benefits to citizens, customers, stakeholders and communities. This cross cuts, not only geographical boundaries, but sectors and industries; we want to hear from archivists representing architecture to fashion, engineering to environmental management, public-sector and private-sector.<br />
<br />
From paper to digital, how are you designing your archives for the 21st century? Let’s challenge what people think we do! Help us tell the world what archives in the 21st Century are about!<br />
<br />
Share with us your vision of archives and your profession, and show us how you will celebrate archivists’ achievements from Monday 3 to Sunday 9 June 2019!<br />
Don't forget to use the hashtags #IAW2019 and <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DesigningYourArchives" target="_blank">#DesigningYourArchives</a> !<br />

Twitter event on #IAD18 : #archivesmemory</h2>
<br />
International Archives Day 2018 <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23IAD18" target="_blank">#IAD18</a> is coming up! Like every year <a href="https://twitter.com/AskArchivists" target="_blank">Ask Archivists</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/followanarchive" target="_blank">Follow An Archive</a> organize a celebration event on Twitter on June 9.<br />
<br />
With the celebration event we join the theme ‘<a href="http://kvan.nl/images/Nieuws/IAD-2018-English.pdf" target="_blank">Archives, Governance, Memory and Heritage</a>’ of the <a href="https://www.ica.org/en" target="_blank">International Council on Archives</a> (ICA).<br />
<br />
The theme of the annual Twitter event will be: <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23archivesmemory&src=typd&lang=nl" target="_blank">#archivesmemory</a>. It’s about memories in archives, archives as memory of the community, our country, the world: our collective memory. But also memories of archivists and users of archives.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Memories in archives</h2>
<br />
We can say that all archives are memories. Or all archives contain memories. Archives form our collective memory. And all people who work in or with archives have memories of their work with archives, their visits to archives, their researches in archives, their participation in activities organized by archives and archivists.<br />
<br />
Lots of archives keep documents about memories in their collections. Think of letters, diaries, friendsbooks, postcards, photographs, drawings. But we can also think about documents of governments and organisations about all kinds of activities.<br />
<br />
All those documents can be a contribution to the Twitter event <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23archivesmemory&src=typd&lang=nl" target="_blank">#archivesmemory</a>. The format is quite open: tweet a scan, do an infographic, gif, animation, blogpost, podcast, flashmob, picture album – just make sure to tweet it, using the hashtag <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23archivesmemory&src=typd&lang=nl" target="_blank">#archivesmemory</a>.<br />
Archives are full of memories<br />
<br />
So, fellow archivists, let's make a memory tour in our depots and show our most beautiful, special, memorable, valuable, extraordinary memory documents in our archives on June 9, International Archives Day, and contribute to ‘Archives, Governance, Memory and Heritage’!<br />
<br />
<h2>
How can we show memory in our archives?</h2>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Ego-documents, like diaries, letters, friendsbooks, photo albums, etc.</li>
<li>Postcards with greetings to loved ones at home</li>
<li>Photographs and portraits of loved ones</li>
<li>Photographs and drawings made to remember things that happened</li>
<li>Books about memories</li>
<li>Sound, music, video, film, containing memories or brings you memories</li>
<li>Documents of governments and organizations that brings you an 'AH-erlebnis'</li>
<li>All kinds of archival stuff that brings you memories</li>
<li>Memories of the archives building or your working places in archives</li>
<li>Memories of your work as an archivist</li>
<li>Memories of your research in archives</li>
<li>Memories of your visit to an archive or your contact with archivists</li>
<li>Memories of any kind connected with archives and archivists</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
Make a memory yourself and organize an event on International Archives Day</h2>
<h2>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>Make a memory tour in your depots, alone, with colleagues, with visitors</li>
<li>Invite children/adults to make a memorable drawing or picture of their visit to your archive</li>
<li>Make an exhibition about memories in your city in your archives building or in the city, perhaps together with visitors, artists or a school</li>
<li>Organize a memorable event, make pictures of it and share these memories on social media</li>
<li>How do you like archives to be remembered? As dusty, dark and boring places or as places full of life, exiting stories, great documents and for everyone available? Make a slogan and tweet it</li>
<li>Do a memorable flashmob</li>
<li>Make online something fun with old diarys, letters, friendsbooks, drawings, photographs, postcards, posters, etc. – just gif it up!</li>
</ul>

International Archives Day 2016 #IAD16 is coming up! Like every year <a href="https://askarchivists.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Ask Archivists</a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">Follow An Archive </a>organize a celebration event on Twitter.<br />
With the celebration event we join the June 9 theme ‘<a href="http://www.ica.org/en/international-archives-day-2016" target="_blank">Archives, Harmony and Friendship</a>‘ of the <a href="http://www.ica.org/" target="_blank">International Council on Archives</a> (ICA).<br />
The theme of the annual Twitter event will be <b>#archivesrock</b>. It’s about music in archives.<br />

Music makes a perfect match with the <a href="https://twitter.com/icarchiv" target="_blank">ICA</a> theme ‘Archives, Harmony and Friendship’!<br />
Remember the song ‘Ebony and Ivory’, a 1982 number-one single by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder?<br />
“Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony | Side by side on my piano…”.<br />
It contains music and lyrics worth to keep in an archive, performed by
two friends singing and playing together in perfect harmony!<br />
So let archives rock on June 9, International Archives Day, and contribute to Friendship and Harmony!<br />
<br />

The idea for the theme ‘the sound of archives’ came from the German archivist <a href="https://twitter.com/eiserfeldwolf" target="_blank">Thomas Wolf</a>.
We added music, mixed it with the sound of archives, and here it is,
especially for all our archives friends: a harmonious theme to celebrate
International Archives Day: #archivesrock!<br />

<b>Celebrating International Archives Day 2015</b><br />
June 9th. and International Archives Day is almost here again. There are so many topics to choose from! But we propose, that this years activities concentrate on democracy in many ways.<br />
<br />
<b>Topic: democracy</b><br />
The National Archives of the United Kingdom has come up with this topic, suggesting that we make June 9th. a <b><i>"Twitter day where archives share stories and records within their collection showcasing democracy and rights in different ways</i>"</b>.<br />
<br />
It is a subject, that most archives can relate to and tell stories about. No matter if you are a large, national archive, a municipal institution or a community archive, we all have records and other material, that can be used to tell the story of democratic development, and people who have stood up for their rights.<br />
<br />
<b>Ideas about what to share, could be records that</b><br />
<ul>
<li>have established fundamental rights in your country </li>
<li>tell the story of individuals, who played a part in establishing democratic conditions </li>
<li>relate to rights of specific groups ( indigenous, ethnic, LGBT, women, children...) </li>
<li>show the history of the right to form trade unions and political or religious communities </li>
<li>picture election and election days, both national and local </li>
<li>sound archives with important speaches, interviews etc. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>Your contribution, your choice</b><br />
And finally your contribution could naturally also be constitutional documents of huge importance and great archival beauty. It is your choice, and we look forward to your contribution.<br />
<br />
<b>#IAD15 #democracy : register on blog Ask Archivists</b><br />
If you wish to join, make a comment on the same blogpost on the weblog of <a href="https://askarchivists.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/lets-celebrate-democracy-and-rights-on-june-9th-2015/" target="_blank">Ask Archivists</a>.

<b>Great day June 10</b><br />
<br />
What a great day we had on June 10, 2014, <a href="http://followanarchive.blogspot.nl/2014/04/twitter-event-on-june-10-2014-in-2014.html">celebrating International Archives Day</a> with the Twitter event #WW1archives!
Lots of archives, liraries, museums, other heritage organisations and tweeps participated, tweeting about the First World War in their archives or private collections.<br />
<br />
#WW1archives Day started in New Zealand and Australia with at least seven organisations and tweeps tweeting about the Great War in their archives and collections. Other participating countries followed, most of them in Europe (we counted 14 twittering organisations in The Netherlands, but the UK and France were leading on tweets), but also in South-Africa and the Middle-East. And the last countries that joined #WW1archives were the America's and Canada, who also did a great job.<br />
<br />
Almost 1,000 users did more than 2,000 tweets and retweets with a potential reach of almost 1,600,000 and over 5,300,000 impressions.<br />
<br />
We enjoyed the documents, pictures, objects and all kinds of resources. It's amazing to see what a treasures we keep in our archives and collections! And we saw a lot of data bases to search for soldiers and refugees. Good work!<br />
<br />
We also saw private persons who made wonderful projects or stories of their search for ancestors who were soldier of refugee in the Great War, and persons who shared their privat collections of, for instance, magazines or postcards. Thanks for your special contributions!<br />
<br />
<b>Outcome</b><br />
<br />
We made some statistic reviews on the use of the hashtag #WW1archives using the tool Keyhole:<br />

<b>Archiving tweets</b><br />

We archived tweets in three Storify's:<br />

We hope you enjoyed participating #WW1archives! The idea to tweet about the First World War in archives and collections came from Thomas Wolf from SIWI-archives in Germany. Do you have an idea for a next international Twitter event on <a href="https://twitter.com/FollowAnArchive">@FollowAnArchive</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AskArchivists">@AskArchivists</a>? Please let us know.
Thanks to you all for making #WW1archives Day such a great archives event, to show all the resources we keep for people to investigate and make the discovery of their live!<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Twitter event on June 10, 2014</b><br />
In 2014 International Archives Day (June 9) falls on Whit Monday or Pentecost Monday. Most archives are closed that day. So we decided to organize the annual Twitter event on Tuesday, June 10.<br />
<br />
<b>World War I – 1914-2014</b><br />
The German archivist Thomas Wolf from SIWI-archives came up with a good idea: let’s pay attention to the beginning of the First World War or The Great War, that began 100 years ago in 1914.<br />
<br />
<b>The Great War in archives</b><br />
We ask all archives and other heritage organizations to search their collections for documents related to the First World War 1914-1918. Even countries that were neutral during the Great War, can perhaps find some records about, for instance, aid to refugees, or military or financial support to soldiers, families, countries in need.<br />
<br />
<b>Subjects to look for and tweet about</b><br />
Archival documents, records, newspapers, pictures, drawings, postcards, paintings, etc. about:<br />
- Soldiers<br />
- Families and loved ones of soldiers<br />
- Battlefields<br />
- Refugees<br />
- Aid / Support<br />
- Governments<br />
- Weapons<br />
- Mobilisation<br />
- Diseases<br />
- War cemeteries<br />
- History before, during, after 1914-1918, all related to the First World War<br />
<br />

<a href="https://twitter.com/RATilburg/statuses/438245621393149952" target="_blank">Tweet</a>: Hey,<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23archives&src=hash" target="_blank"> <s>#</s>archives</a> all over the world, want to participate with <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ArchiveShelfie&src=hash" target="_blank"><s>#</s>ArchiveShelfie</a>? Be creative with your shelves! <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23shelfie&src=hash" target="_blank"><s>#</s>shelfie</a><br />
<br />
This tweet was the beginning of great fun in archives! Archivists of the Dutch <a href="https://twitter.com/RATilburg" target="_blank">Regionaal Archief Tilburg</a> came up with this fantastic idea as a follow up of #shelfie (a<span class="st">
picture or portrait of your bookshelf). They thought: “Why not a
picture or portrait of your favorite archive shelf?” And so
#ArchiveShelfie was born.</span><br />
<br />
Archivists and visitors of archives came up with awesome pictures.
Not only shelves with boxes, papers and all other kinds of archival
stuff were recorded on camera, but also minuature archivists made of
paper or Lego, and even an archive dwarf, showed up.<br />
<br />
And of course archivists photographed them selves in, near, over,
between, behind, in front of and on top of shelves and even under or on
top of archives <img alt=":-)" class="wp-smiley" src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif?m=1129645325g" /> <br />
<br />
You can see all this amazing pictures in the Storify of <a href="http://storify.com/Jojanneke68/archiveshelfie" target="_blank">#ArchiveShelfie</a>.<br />
<br />
The event #ArchiveShelfie is still going on and will be for as long
as it takes. So… join the event and be creative with yourselve, your
shelves and your archives!<br />
<br />
Thanks to the collegues of the Regionaal Archief Tilburg, who started
this event on Twitter, for coming up with such a great idea!<br />
<br />
Have lots of fun making your own #ArchiveShelfie!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Archives are a fantastic resource for us all. They help us
grow in knowledge and understanding of past and present. They empower us to

necessary.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">But not all archives are well</span></span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On March 3 2009, the city archives of Cologne in Germany
collapsed and with it thousands of documents belonging to one of the oldest
city archives in Europe. Holdings reached back to 1408/09 and the oldest
document stored was from 922. A huge part of the archives was buried by the
collaps. About 40.000 charters, collection of photo and film as well as some
of the iconic medieval documents and a collection of seals were saved.</span></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">To rebuild or not to rebuild?</span></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But although part of the collections have been saved, the
municipality has recently decided to freeze the build of a new city archives. A
decision, which has been critized by both the German Association of Archivists
(VdA) as well as ICA, the International Council on Archives.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The archives in Cologne can be supported in different ways,
among others this <a href="http://www.ica.org/14306/position-statements/planning-freeze-on-the-new-cologne-city-archive-building.html" target="_blank">petition</a>.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But we are almost certain, that there are a lot of archives
in the world, which also need attention. Archives threatened by for instance
consequences of climate change, lack of appropriate facilities or other
negative influences.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b> </b></span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>WE REALLY WANT GOOGLE TO PICK UP ON THIS – SO PLEASE HELP US PROMOTE THE IDEA!</b></span> </span></h3>
<br />
In 2011 and 2012 we celebrated International Archives Day on June 9th by doing a worldwide #AskArchivists / #FollowAnArchive event on Twitter. We would like to do it again – if archives and archivists support the idea.
But this year we would like the day to be extra special.<br />
<br />
During the past years, Google has used variations on their logo to draw attention to people and causes worth noticing. Among the doodles are little works of art highlighting things as different as New Year, Chaplins Birthday, Opening of the Arcropolis Museum, Singapore Art Festival and National Library Week. But it seems, that there has never been an doodle on archives.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>So why should archives deserve a place on the worlds largest search engine?</b></span></span> </h3>
<br />
1) <b>Archives contain the unique written memories of the world.</b> Our collections are diverse, and contain records on paper, electronic records, sound, pictures and much more. But regardless of form, they are a vital part of our heritage.<br />
<br />
2) <b>Archives play a vital part in democracy.</b> Without archives, the world would face immense difficulties in reconstructing our political, economic, social, national, local – or personal – history with a sufficient credibility.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Archives are for all.</b> When conducted in accordance with the <a href="http://www.ica.org/?lid=5555" target="_blank">ICA code of ethics</a>, archives ensure, that our history becomes diverse and open to a variety of interpretations: “Archivists should promote the widest possible access to archival material and provide an impartial service to all users.”<br />
<br />
4) <b>Archives provide resource</b> for academic researchers and students, but they are also a fountain knowledge for all, and support livelong, self-directed learning. Whether driven by interest in local history, genealogy or other topics, archives are a place, where thousands of non-scholars gain new knowledge, skills and competences.<br />
<br />
5) <b>Google itself is in many ways related to archives</b>, providing access to informations and helping people search and find what they need to grow in knowledge.
<b> </b><br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>So please Google, help us celebrate the content and mission of archives all over the world on June 9th which is the International Archives Day.</b></span></h4>
<br />
<b> </b>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>HELP GOOGLE WITH IDEAS</b> FOR AN #ARCHIVESDOODLE</span></span></h3>
<br />
We all can help Google with ideas for an archives doodle!
What do you think are specific ingredients for an archives doodle? Draw them, make a picture of them or write it down.
Tweet your ideas from June 1 untill June 8 with the hashtag <b><span style="color: red;">#archivesdoodle</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Will International Archives Day on June 9 be celebrated with a Googledoodle?</b></span></span> </h3>
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Yes! We think archives earn a googledoodle on International Archives Day, June 9!</span></b><br />

<br />
We got some real cool #archivesdoodles created bij archivists to inspire Google to do a googledoodle on International Archives Day June 9.<br />
In the blogpost you will find two of them: on top an #archivesdoodle made by <a href="https://twitter.com/charlotteshj" target="_blank">Charlotte S.H. Jensen</a> (National Archives / National Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark), and at the end of the blogpost an #archivesdoodle made by <a href="https://twitter.com/EiserfeldWolf" target="_blank">Thomas Wolf</a> (SIWI Archives, Siegen, Germany).<br />
<br />
Thomas made another one, a happy archivist in special designed #achivesdoodle grey working coat :-) :<br />
<br />

<b>What?!</b><br>
"NO!", is our first response when people ask: Do you have beasts in your collections or depots? Of course not! We keep our depots very clean and take very good care of our heritage collections! No mice, no spiders, no flies, no rats, no silverfishes, no fleas, no bookworms, we don't give them any chance to creep in our collections and depots.
<br>
<br>
<b>World fauna in our collections</b><br>
That's what we think. But... we DO have lots of beasts in our collections and depots! Think of the huge seamonsters on oceanmaps, the very precise drawings of insects in fauna books, the sweet pictures of cats in albums amicorum, the loyal dogs at the feet of our rulers on paintings and sculptures. We have the entire fauna of the world in our collections!
<br>
<br>
<b>World Animal Day, October 4th</b><br>
On October 4th each year, we celebrate World Animal Day. Let's dive into our collections to search for colourful fishes. Let's make a safari tour through our depots to catch wild animals. Let's have a stroll through all the bookshelves to discover beautiful insects that hide there. Let's have a great flight through our storagerooms and catch up with some amazing birds. Make a silent tour at night to spot the very rare unicorn. And let's show all the animals we find in our depots and collections to the world on World Animal Day!
<br>
<br>
<b>Twitter event #heritagebeasts</b><br>
On October 4th, World Animal Day, <a href="https://twitter.com/followanarchive">Follow An Archive</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/AskArchivists">Ask Archivists</a> will organize a Twitter event: #heritagebeasts.

And the documents probably comes from all parts of society, high and low alike.<br /><br />When we examine the collections, some of the greatest stories of love may not even involve a man and a woman. “Love” could also be the love of ones children, parents, God, siblings – or the love of a cause, that brings passion and great emontions into the life of an individual.<br /><br />We believe, that YOUR archive has a lot of amazing stories about one of the most amazing human feelings in its collections. And we encourage you to share them on February 14th.<br /><br />Put some of your documents of love on Flickr or Picasa, make a video for YouTube, create an album on Facebook… use any platform you like, just tweet about it, using the hashtag <span style="font-weight:bold;">#loveheritage</span>.<br /><br />We hope you will play along – for the love of archives – and invite our colleagues in museums and libraries to join as well.

#FollowAnArchive Day was such a great day that we asked our followers: should we start an other archives action on twitter, i.e. AskArchivists? We got a lot of positive respons to our question. 'YES! It would be great!', 'More attention for archivists on twitter!', et cetera.<br />
<br />

It was a smashing start of #followanarchive day! Archives found each other, tweeps and archives found each other, talked to one another and got into contact. <br />Twittering archives and tweeps showed great appreciation about the participation of the <a href="http://twitter.com/naagovau">Australian National Archives</a> who were very happy with their followers on their first day on twitter:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Thanks to everyone for your support on our first day! You've made us <a href="http://naa12.naa.gov.au/scripts/PhotoSearchItemDetail.asp?M=0&B=7502145&SE=1">this</a> happy... #followanarchive</span></blockquote><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/bradheadland">Bradley Headland</a>, working at the National Archives of Australia, was very enthousiastic and we asked him to write a blogpost for the #followanarchive blog about his experiences and thoughts about #followanarchive day. And he did! Look <a href="http://followanarchive.blogspot.com/p/xperiences.html">here</a> and read how he got the <a href="http://www.caara.org.au/">CAARA</a> delegates on twitter on November 12! Bradley tweeted:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">The records we hold tell the story of who we are, where we came from and how we got here.</span></blockquote><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">#followanarchive day in the Middle-East, Africa and Europe</span><br />In the mean time November 12 had started in the <a href="http://twitter.com/followanarchive/middle-east-archives/members">Middle-East</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/followanarchive/africa-archives/members">Africa</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/followanarchive/europe-archives/members">Europe</a>. We couldn't find any twittering archives in Asia.<br />It was fabulous to see how the archives did their utmost best to recommend their collections. In The Netherlands, the UK and the Nordic countries there were a lot of participating archives. Archivists in countries with only a few archives on twitter or none at all, were also joining. Archives, archivists and followers recommended many archives to there followers and told them the reasons why they should follow archives.<br />In Spain we couldn't find any archives on twitter. How much joy we all had when <a href="http://twitter.com/pacofernandez">Paco Fernández Cuesta</a>, Historian and Technical Assistant in the Archives of the Royal Chancery of Valladolid, came up with two Spanish archives! <a href="http://twitter.com/sierrapambley">Sierra Pambley</a> and the <a href="@ArchivoArganda">Municipal Archives Arganda del Rey</a> in Madrid.<br />We challenged French archives to act:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">French #archivists! @pacofernandez came up with two twittering Spanish archives. Can you do the same for France? #followanarchive</span></blockquote><br />And... a French archive got on twitter! Thanks to the efforts of <a href="http://twitter.com/archives_masala">Pauline Moirez</a> Project Manager Internet / Multimedia at th Archives of France, The National Archives of France came on twitter and joined #followanarchive day. They ended up with 50 followers on their first day on twitter! They tweeted:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Les Archives françaises arrivent sur Twitter ! Bon Follow an Archive Day à tous ! #followanarchive</span></blockquote><br />In Africa especially the <a href="http://twitter.com/SABCRadioArc">SABC Radio Archives</a> were very active on November 12! They followed al lot of archives and archivists over the world and were very pleased with #followanarchive day, as all participating archives were ;-)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">#followanarchive day in the America's</span><br />In the mean time the America's (<a href="http://twitter.com/followanarchive/south-america-archives/members">South America</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/followanarchive/north-america-archives/members">North America</a> (we couldn't find a twittering archive in Central America) had joined #followanarchive day. With only two participating archives in Latin America, there came a lot of tweets from Brazil.<br />Many archivists and tweeps who are fond of archives were on twitter that day.<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/PickeringChatto">PickeringChatto</a> in the UK tweetet: <br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">Amazed at the number of archives/archivists on Twitter - they’re taking over! etc etc.</span></blockquote><br />And North America also did great things on #followanarchive day! Archives showed photographs of there oldest document, there most special map, their funniest photograph or cartoon, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Archivists are so cool!</span><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Some tweetqoutes:</span><br />A follower tweeted:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">I didn't know archives had so much to offer!</span></blockquote><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/DYKEaQuarterly">@dykeaquarterly</a> tweeted: <blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">@followanarchive thanks. You inspired me to start an archive twitter, rather than using the one for my business.</span></blockquote><br />A follower tweeted:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">I love how the event put me in touch with archivists world wide in compact time. And broadened the awareness of archives!</span></blockquote><br />Funny jokes about archives also appeared. <a href="http://twitter.com/mandahill">@mandahill</a> tweeted: <br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">My favourite #archives joke for #followanarchive day: Where did Noah keep his bees? In the ark-hives!</span></blockquote><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/AFSCMEArchivist">@AFSCMEArchivist</a> tweeted:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">thanks for the follow. Archivists are so cool.</span></blockquote><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Archives rock!</span><br />It was a phenomenal, fabulous #followanarchive day! We've enjoyed every second of it!<br />Thanks to all archives, archivists an followers who made this day one of the most splendid day in archives history!<br />One of the tweeps shouted: 'ARCHIVES ROCK!' This tweet was retweeted many times. And we agree: 'Archives rock'!<br />We will add some statistics on this blog too and of course the outcome of the survey many of you filled in, thanks!<br />Also thanks every one who wrote (or is going to write) a blogpost or webs article about #followanarchive day. Much appreciated!<br /><br /><a href="http://twitter.com/charlotteshj">Charlotte</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/bente_j">Bente</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/poulus">Poulus</a> & <a href="http://twitter.com/WatVanWaardenIs">Anneke</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">#askanarchivist day or #askarchivists day 2011</span><br />Together with several other people we are thinking of the possibility of organizing an #askanarchivist day or #askarchivists day. We think about June 9, when it is International Archives Day. How do you think about this proposition?<br /><br /><blockquote><span style="font-style:italic;">ARCHIVES ROCK!</span><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">ARCHIVISTS ARE SO COOL!</span></blockquote> <br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Posted by Anneke</span>followanarchivehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13568261301326100864noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763311340532973325.post-20010580195862353542010-11-12T17:19:00.002+01:002010-11-12T17:19:47.763+01:00Followanarchive Survey<iframe frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600" scrolling="auto" src="http://polldaddy.com/s/95EB1B8EB6454826?iframe=1"><a href="http://polldaddy.com/s/95EB1B8EB6454826">View Survey</a></iframe>poulushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02316485026350283042noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1763311340532973325.post-35314600206902540082010-11-10T17:05:00.003+01:002010-11-11T11:57:07.069+01:00Make your own followanarchive promotion video<b>Challange: make your own follow an archive promotion video</b>.<br />
