Editorial: Keep Alaska's archives in Alaska The records stored in the Anchorage archives include critical documents from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Alaska Railroad and Coast Guard, among others. Those documents are used by genealogists, historians and writers alike. This week, the Alaska Historical Society denounced the closure, demanding the federal government recant its decision. The National Archives and Records Administration has pledged to digitize Alaska's records, but NARA is perennially underfunded, and given recent federal budget cuts it could be years -- if not decades -- before Alaskans see a complete digital record. http://bit.ly/1gMSwcH Source: http://juneauempire.com/opinion/2014-03-19/editorial-keep-alaskas-archives-alaska#.UyuoVoWa_-k See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1gMSwcH+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
