Let's Be Active or Leisurely in 2024
The Sacramento Archives Crawl's theme for 2024 (drumroll, please) is Pastimes Preserved: Sports and Leisure in the Archives. Over the coming months, look for content relating to both the theme and the many terrific sponsors who will be stepping up to the plate or just lying back on the Barcalounger to make the crawl the great event that it is.
You can look forward to another fall crawl, taking place on October 5, 2024, from 10 am to 4 pm.
