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.
