Ask an Archivist Day
Have you ever wondered what an archivist does, or how they care for old, sometimes priceless artifacts and documents? Have you ever thought about what entertainment looked like before the movies? Or what a famous author’s earliest attempts at writing were like? If you are curious about all that archival work entails, as well as how archival collections enrich all there is to learn about history, literature, or in some cases our own backyard, then join us for Ask an Archivist Day! Education director and certified archivist Tracy Tucker will be on hand to explain how an artifact joins our collection, answer questions about her work in the archive, and show off the cool stuff that helps students and readers better understand Willa Cather, Red Cloud, and even Nebraska agriculture.
