This #ThrowbackThursday we are going back to the SUNY Maritime College Student Photograph Contest from 2018! In 2018 the Ship's Librarian re-launched the Student Photograph Contest (one of the firsts was in the 1970s). #photography #sunymaritimecollege #archivesmonth

Titled "Trumpet Playing on the Bridge" but I like to think of it as "Isn't it a little early to practice?"

Now that you’ve met the archivist, it’s time to #AskAnArchivist! Today, archivists from the US take to twitter to answer questions using the hashtag #AskAnArchivist Don’t forget to use our handle for any #SUNYMaritimeCollege questions @SBLuceLibrary
