It´s allmost there again! The greatest day of the year – International Archives Day!
We know it´s on a saturday – but let´s celebrate anyway! Let´s show off our archival holdings, knowledge and services this year. We invite you to tweet your most precious document, your best online services and finest webcontent, the coolest pics of users socializing and using the collections. Show us – and the whole twittersphere – what you´re proud of in your archives! Let us know if you´re in – and if you will answer questions from users again.
We´re looking forward to another great Archives Day on the tag #archday12 
For Germany lokk here: http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/97047546/ I hope many gifts for the 60 years old Federal Archives will arrive there, on Twitter or somewhere else.
Excited for this years Follow An Archive. Loved it last year. My archive has grown so much this year. http://www.dykeaquarterly.com annotated online archive of US Lesbian political magazine from the 1970′s. Now housed at Library of Museum Of Modern Art in NYC and at Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College in US.
Let’s hope that we with our friends in Canada can continue to serve the future by preserving the past. http://archiviststrek2012.tumblr.com/post/24471334985/photographs-from-the-archivists-trek-event-on-28

I just wrote a long comment that was lost so I would like to offer up http://Www.miLifemap.com web, iphone and ipad apps for all your family memories that I built and just launched after a death in the family. A lot of intuitive and effortless features for photos, videos, diaries, + social media backup all mapped on a private timeline + an eBeneficiary to leave a read-only account to a spouse, child or loved one posthumously.
I’d love feedback from the community and all of my digital photos, videos, and social media are backed up and it is quite powerful with the fragmented nature of analogue, web products and services and devices now vying for our attention – mi Lifemap is your sanctuary.
I hope you find real value for your family as I have with mine!
