Archives Month 2009 Contest
Help us celebrate Archives Month 2009!
The SLAC Archives and History Office (AHO) is looking to share the inside story on working at this lab and to celebrate the many and varied contributions of all sorts of specialists to its daily science and science support activities.
Do you have a significant item in your work area right now? Something you use or have used – or see or have seen – on a regular basis that has special meaning to you in your work? Is it old? New? Shiny? Worn? Big? Small? Used every day or seldom? Important to your functioning because (you fill in the blank)?
Submissions due by October 20, 2009
Take a photograph of the item and write a few words about it (up to 150) explaining its significance. For example, you could begin by writing:
“I couldn’t work without this __(item name)____, because…” or “When I look at ____(item_) it says “SLAC” to me, because….”
