Celebrate Archives Month
Inside the Baker Center's Modern Political Archives
In celebration of American Archives Month, the Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy’s Modern Political Archives (MPA) will host a special exhibit and reception on Oct. 20 in the rotunda of the Baker Center at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The MPA will exhibit three cases of proprietary artifacts and documents encompassing the themes of organized crime, contemporary international issues, and participation in local government.
The MPA preserves the documents and ephemera of 20th-century Tennessee politicians from the local, state and federal levels. The cases exhibited are meant to show the accessible nature of archives, as well as emphasize the historical importance of preservation.
American Archives Month is a collaborative effort by professional organizations and repositories around the nation to highlight the importance of records of enduring value. Archivists are professionals who assess, collect, organize, preserve, maintain control of, and provide access to information that has lasting value. Archivists also help people find and understand the information they need in those records.
