Our lives and our communities are reflected in the documents, photographs, maps, and other items we create. Archives, museums, libraries, and other organizations preserve these treasures for study and enjoyment. The Border Archives Bazaar will feature displays with original items, talks about our region’s unique past, vintage films, and more.

Come reflect on our shared history, view evidence of the past, and see yourself in these unique and rare items. Archives are mirrors of ourselves.

All presentations will be held in the Museum’s theater.
