Role of Archivists in Communities:

  • Acquire, manage, preserve, and provide access to historical records
  • Assist communities with documenting their unique stories
  • Serve as a link to the records that inform family historians and genealogists
  • Utilize digital technologies & media to expand public access to on-line collections
  • Digitize images and records to make them available for use by peers, researchers, and diverse communities worldwide
  • Serve as the bridge between historic information and the users who can benefit from its public availability
