Every fall the Society of American Archivists, University of Texas at Austin Student Chapter, hosts Archives Week. A specific theme is chosen by members of the chapter, and speakers from all over the country, as well as local archivists, come to discuss their work. Usually, it is declared by Mayor's Proclomation, and ends with the Archives Clinic at the Austin History Center, which is a time for the public to come and learn about preserving their familial posessions.
