Don’t forget - your participation matters. As a part of our celebration, Preservica will make a donation to the Society of American Archivists Foundation’s Mosaic Scholarship in honor of American Archives Month. For every use of #WhatDoYouPreserve during the month of October, Preservica’s donation will increase!

With just one week to go, let’s see how many more posts we can get in this last week to boost Preservica’s donation!
