We have the opposite here in the #FalklandIslands - with snow and ice outside, the archive store feels oddly warm!! ❄️

What about other #international archives? 🌍 🧾

ARA International @arainternational.bsky.social · Jul 1

The international archivists are melting!* As temperatures rise, our archival depots are nice and cool

Just to let our users know that the Archives website will shortly be closing for maintenance and upgrading.

We hope to be back online soon, with improved site navigation, and more items from our collection to view!
