#AskAnArchivist Day is Oct. 5
What’s the most popular collection in your archives? How old is the oldest object in your collection? Ask our archivists anything! The Corning Museum of Glass is joining archives, libraries, and museums around the world as a participant in #AskAnArchivist day on Wednesday, October 5. Ask your questions on Twitter using the hashtag #AskAnArchivist and our archivists at the Rakow Research Library will answer them.
