About ALA Preservation Week 2021 - "Preserving Community Archives"
Preservation Week is a national event sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) with the goal of sharing information and resources about preservation with the community.
This year’s Preservation Week theme is "Preserving Community Archives," and participating libraries will celebrate by offering special programs and services to connect library users with preservation tools, promote the importance of preservation, and strive to enhance knowledge of preservation issues among the general public. The memories and treasures of individuals, families, and communities are essential to our record of this process—they contribute to our understanding of history and its participants just as collections in libraries, museums, and archives do.
