#Archive30
In March 2018, the Archives and Records Association of Scotland challenged archives from around the world to get to know each other a bit better. They suggested taking to Twitter and posting on a different theme everyday, all ending with #Archive30. Starting on April 1, ITMA took up this challenge with a series of tweets. We were so delighted with the range of images and sounds that resulted, we decided to compile the tweets here.
