Free to attend, celebrate Archives Month at Meow Wolf!

Did you know that October is American Archives Month? Join us at an Archives “Bizarre” Bazaar at Meow Wolf! Come see displays of archival materials from multiple institutions in one place—specifically those truly unique, artistic, or just plain weird items.

Visit with archivists displaying items held in the State Archives of New Mexico, the University of New Mexico (including their Health Sciences Library), the New Mexico History Museum (Palace of the Governors Photo Archives and the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library), Chaco Culture National Historical Park and Aztec Ruins National Monument, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the New Mexico Supreme Court Law Library, and the Philmont Museum.

Learn more about what archivists do and how you can best manage your own personal archives.
