First Thing - Don't Panic
We have learned from sad experience that it is the nature of
genealogists to panic at the first hint of any action that would
endanger their access and/or preservation of records they consider
crucial to their research. These actions, while well intended, usually
exacerbate an otherwise negotiable issue. One of the main purposes of
the Record Preservation and Access Committee is to COORDINATE a
united and reasonable response to any issues we face that are of mutual
concern.
Contact your State Liaison or send
a message to the RP&A Committee.
Note:
Please do not forward e-mails or contact the National Trust for Historic
Preservation concerning records preservation. The National Trust is a
non-profit organization whose focus is historic places not records
preservation.
