Closest we've got to an #archivesamusementpark for the #archiveshashtagparty is the Ferris Wheel at the Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893. This is one of over 11,000 (still counting) #stereoview cards from the Richard C. Ryder '70 Collection. #specialcollections #worldsfair

@LA_autry Maybe not the best, but memorable! #AskAnArchivistDay

@stegan We have this handmade football doll. It is super creepy. #AskAnArchivistDay

@nellstra An archive can be a special collection, but can a special collection be a archive? Our special collections is the umbrella term for things like art, rare books, & Civil War artifacts, as well as archival holdings like manuscript collections & College records. #AskAnArchivistDay

@paganarchivist Anything administrative! I prefer to work with students and the old stuff. #AskAnArchivistDay #AmericanArchivesMonth

[GC Spec Collections @GCSpecColl]

@nellstra As long as they keep track of their sources, seems fine. #AskAnArchivistDay

Have any of your classes visited the library this semester? Librarians instruct classes in all disciplines how to find the best sources for your research, such as this class learning about primary sources available in Special Collections. #libraryinstruction #primarysources
