Today, October 4, archivists around the country will take to Twitter to respond to questions tweeted with the hashtag #AskAnArchivist. Questions will vary widely, from the silly (What do archivists talk about around the water cooler?) to the practical (What should I do to be sure that my emails won’t get lost?), but each question will be an opportunity for the public to learn more about the work of archivists. Last year generated thousands of questions and answers, some of which have been Storified.
