Recognizing the need to document and preserve Tampa’s development and unique heritage, 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 present their collections through exhibits and programs that highlight the value of archives in identifying, preserving, and conserving historical records.
