Update from Week Two of #WhatDoYouPreserve

We’re now halfway through Archives Month and have already seen dozens of posts responding to our question of - #WhatDoYouPreserve. 

This week, we had a great time participating in two of the major events during Archives Month – Electronic Records Day on Monday, October 10th and Ask An Archivist Day on Wednesday, October 13th.  

I’m so pleased to announce that there have been over 50+ participants sharing their digital treasures so far!  

The best part is we still have two more weeks to continue sharing with the hashtag and increasing Preservica’s donation to the Society of American Archivists Foundation’s Mosaic Scholarship. Don’t forget, every time #WhatDoYouPreserve is used during the month of October, we’ll increase the donation! 

Here’s a sample of some of the amazing collections being digitally preserved and shared for #WhatDoYouPreserve:
