News & Events

Archives Without Tears is for those who work or volunteer in organizations that deal with the past — whether it’s a museum, historical society, historic house, city clerk's office, library, historic site, church, or college archives. You'll receive practical advice, sample forms and policies, and learn basic, valuable practices for collecting, preserving, and assisting researchers with the historical treasures in your care.

Archives Without Tears (AWOT) is presented by the Pennsylvania State Archives in partnership with the Somerset County Historical Center. Presenters Tyler Stump and Anne Marie Ickes are archivists with PHMC's Records Services Division of the Pennsylvania State Archives. With decades of experience, they are well-versed in archival and records management principles.
