In past months, the calls to action for the “Year of Living Dangerously for Archives” have focused on the value that others find in archives. Now it’s time to talk about the value WE see in what we do. Whether you came into this profession intentionally, by way of a related profession, or by some unforeseen path, there is a reason why you have decided to stay. Please take a few minutes (now!) to think about why you are an archivist and to share your reflections with us.
Add your comment to our post on Facebook. You can also post it to Twitter (#WhyIAmAnArchivist), or send your statement (of 500 words or fewer) to saahq@archivists.org. If you’d prefer to share your story by YouTube or other medium, just alert us (via saahq@archivists.org) where to find it. We’d like to share your submission with others; if you would prefer that we not do that, please specify that in your message.
So let the conversation begin: Why are you an archivist?
Inspiration quotes, on the other hand, are the wings of our spirit. They don’t just make us believe in our goals; they make us believe in ourselves. They remind us that inside every human being lives a dreamer, a fighter, and a believer who refuses to give up. Inspirational words carry the strength of truth Happy Sunday Blessings — simple, pure, and powerful. When you read something like “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream,” you realize that life does not end when one chapter closes.
