On this date in 1814, Stephen Pleasonton, a senior clerk in the US Secretary of State's office, hastily bundled the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, international treaties, and George Washington's correspondence into coarse linen bags and took them 35 miles from Washington to Leesburg, Virginia. There, he hid them in an abandoned house to safeguard them from British troops, who were in the process of burning government buildings in Washington.

Today in 2005, the Cambodian Parliament passed the country's first Archives Law. The law was drafted with the assistance of the French National Archives as part of a long term project to develop the National Archives of Cambodia. The law provided the National Archives of Cambodia with the powers it previously lacked to acquire records that had been accumulating since 1979 in various Cambodian Government Ministries and agencies.

August 28, 2019 - August 30, 2019
Leeds, UK
The Archives and Records Association, UK & Ireland will hold its 2019 Conference in Leeds between 28 and 30 August 2019. Drawing on one of the sub-themes from the 2018 Conference - ‘People looking after records’ - we will be concentrating on our profession with the title RECORDKEEPER 3.0. This presents the opportunity for us to continue the debate on diversity in our sector, look at where we are now, and ask what archivists, conservators, and records managers will be doing in the future. We will also revisit the #ARAGlasgowManifesto and look to showcase what the ARA Northern Region has to offer.
