The Astoria Library is providing tours of its basement archives for American Archives Month.

Library Director Jimmy Pearson will offer tours at 10 and 11:15 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 14 and Oct. 21. Tours are limited to 10 people. Call 503-325-7323 to reserve a place.

The library recently received a $17,327 grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust to assist with processing and preservation. The archival project has received nearly $80,000 in grants overall.

“I would say in two years we’ll have it where I want it to be,” Pearson said.

That will include a website, keyword-searchable documents and MacBooks for viewing archives in the library.
