The Archives Bazaar is a lively annual event that brings together a diverse range of archives, libraries, and historical societies, providing a unique space for them to showcase their valuable collections and engage directly with the community. It gives an excellent chance to promote the preservation of cultural heritage and encourage greater use of archival materials. Archives Bazaar offers engaging exhibits, hands-on workshops, and direct opportunities for attendees to interact with archivists, promoting a deeper understanding of local history. Its main goal is to connect people with the rich historical and cultural heritage carefully preserved within local archives. A wide range of institutions participate, including museums, libraries, historical societies, and private collectors. Visitors can explore interesting exhibits featuring historic artifacts, maps, photographs, and other materials. Workshops on preservation techniques and research methods are also available. The Los Angeles Archives Bazaar, hosted by LA as Subject, takes place at the USC Doheny Memorial Library and is entirely free for the public, making these valuable resources easily accessible.
