October is Archives Month, a nationwide celebration of history.
The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation is celebrating Archives Month in October with a poster designed to share about Beckman history through the theme California in the 1970s!
Our poster features three images from the Beckman Foundation Collection that highlight vibrant stories of California and touch on moments related to science, technology, feminism, leadership, culture, fashion, industrialism, and entrepreneurship, featuring Dr. Beckman and other team members. Each image has a corresponding caption that provides descriptive notes.
In 2006, October was designated as California’s Archives Month by then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as part of a nationwide, month-long celebration in which archives and archivists share history and their collections with patrons. It coincides with American Archives Month, established by the Society of American Archivists.
