To get started on this year's Archives Crawl, begin at ANY of the four host locations: the California State Archives (1020 'O' Street), California State Library (900 'N' Street), Center for Sacramento History (551 Sequoia Pacific Blvd.), or Central Library* (828 'I' Street). You will be given a passport
at the first location you visit, which will provide a map to the
others. Each host location will stamp your passport when you arrive. Read the posts below for details on transportation and parking, participating archives, and prize giveaways and drawings.
*Be one of the first twenty visitors to mention the code word "acid-free" at Central Library and take home a giveaway bag stuffed with goodies!
The Sacramento Archives Crawl is an Archives Month event held every October. Crawlers tour among four host archives in Sacramento, gathering stamps in their passports as they view treasures from dozens of archives and special collections libraries, visit with archivists, and go on special behind-the-scenes tours. The 2024 Crawl will be held on Saturday, October 5, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Central Library, State Library, State Archives, and Center for Sacramento to History.
