Archival Neglect: Flooding of FBI Archives Destroyed Hundreds of Thousands of Pages of Files Related to Civil Rights The FBI’s file on the UKA was just one of the thousands of FBI files damaged by flooding during Hurricane Sandy. The FBI provided Muckrock.org with an incomplete list of more than 76,000 volumes of files destroyed by flooding at its Alexandria archive last year, and plans to release more lists in the future. Each volume contained between 1-250 pages of documents, making it likely that millions of pages of documents were lost. And this doesn’t even include the 3,000+ cubic feet of files destroyed in the FBI’s Moonachie, New Jersey <http://www.thecrimereport.org/news/inside-criminal-justice/2013-10-sandys-unwritten-toll> facility during the hurricane. http://bit.ly/1yikjw8 Source: http://nsarchive.wordpress.com/2014/09/16/archival-neglect-flooding-of-fbi-archives-destroyed-hundreds-of-thousands-of-pages-of-files-related-to-civil-rights-movement-history/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1yikjw8+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar 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.
