The National Genealogical Society annual conference meeting  in Salt Lake City today includes a Records Preservation and Access meeting beginning at 2:30pm MDT to which all interested in these issues are invited.

The topic is “How does the genealogical community organize to address threats to the records we need? Critical roles and resources for state liaisons.”

During this session we will premier a model presentation developed by RPAC suitable for use by state liaisons in presentations before local groups, as well as an additional “toolkit” for confronting legislative threats to our access.  We will also hear from representatives of the genealogical community in Michigan concerning the latest developments surrounding the Library of Michigan and the collaborative efforts between the local and national genealogical communities.

We are still actively seeking State Liaisons for a number of states and would welcome any recommendations you may have. We will then contact them and see if they are willing to serve.
