California State Archives Serves as Host for Sixth Annual Archives Crawl

SACRAMENTO – The California State Archives will once again serve as one of the host institutions for the sixth annual Archives Crawl on Saturday, October 8. This year’s crawl features the inaugural Archives Film Festival with screenings of, The Sacramento Picture by Matias Bombal at 10:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. (Please note that tickets to the 10:30 a.m. showing have sold out. The 1:45 p.m. showing not ticketed, but space will be limited.) 

For more information on the Archives Crawl, visit: http://www.sos.ca.gov/archives/public-events/archives-month/archives-crawl/ 

The Archives Crawl provides the public an opportunity to tour four host locations and view treasures from dozens of archives and special collections libraries, visit with archivists, and go on special behind-the-scenes tours. The event is part of California Archives Month, which is recognized yearly during October. In addition to the State Archives, the California State Library, the Center for Sacramento History, and the Sacramento Public Library also serve as host locations. 

All participants receive a “passport” with a map of the host locations, information on participating archives and libraries, and other information. Crawlers who visit the host locations will receive a stamp in their passport, and those who receive stamps from at least three of the four host locations are eligible to receive a set of limited edition commemorative coasters. Host location tours include viewing material from dozens of archives and special collections libraries, visit with archivists, and special behind-the-scenes tours.
