Recognizing the need to document and preserve the development and unique heritage of Tampa and its government, the City of Tampa Archives was founded in 1987. Archives Awareness Week was established in 1992 by the City of Tampa Archives Advisory Committee. During this week, local archives come together to present their collections through exhibits and programs that convey the value of archives in the identification, preservation and conservation of historic records.

Join museum curators Susan Carter and Heather Trubee Brown for a special talk on sports at the Tampa Bay Hotel.  This discussion, offered live on Facebook and Zoom, will include hidden treasures from the archives, new discoveries and more.
