Records Task Force Tracks Down Texas's History, Some of Which Could Be Lost Forever - Dallas News - Unfair Park If you have a moment, take the time to read this just-released report from the Texas Court Records Preservation Task Force<http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/crptf/docs/TaskForceReport.pdf>, formed in November 2009 by the Supreme Court of Texas to see just how at-risk the state's historical docs are<http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/crptf/about.asp>. Because most of the most important docs in Texas history are scattered hither and yon -- in small county clerks' offices, for starters, many of which don't have the money or facilities to properly archive paperwork that, in some instances, dates back to 1837. Says the report, "Many Records are decaying or being destroyed due to a confluence of events and conditions." http://bit.ly/nko7Ef Source: http://blogs.dallasobserver.com/unfairpark/2011/08/records_task_force_tracks_down.php See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/nko7Ef+ 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 [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte 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.
