MayDay is a time when archivists and other preservation professionals take time out of their day to review disaster plans, review preservation guidelines and look at the overall archives preservation.
Individuals can also take steps on this MayDay! Genealogists, who have original records to preserve, can devise their own disaster plan, review preservation guidelines and look at their genealogy records to see if they are doing all they can do to preserve their records.
The Society of American Archives has always been at the forefront of MayDay and this year is no different.
They have provided Ideas for MayDay Activities at this link:

Also, MayDay Quick Tips at this link

So, on this May 1, 2017, remember it's MayDay and let's take care of our genealogical records which will SAVE OUR HISTORY!
