I’ve added a new page to this blog/website that is simply called “NARA News” – which you’ll find in the above menu or direct at https://twelvekey.com/nara-news/.

It’s important for the genealogical, historical, veteran, and other research communities to follow changes in key personnel and policies at the National Archives and Records Administration. In addition, administrative and legal decisions shape – for good or ill – the records kept for future generations.

I also hope that this information will help you become a more informed advocate for robust funding for the chronically-underfunded and understaffed National Archives and Records Administration (whose budget is a mere “rounding error” when compared to billions spent at the Pentagon, etc.)

As Thomas Jefferson said, “An informed citizenry is at the heart of a dynamic democracy.”
