The National Archives is consolidating their hours of operation to
eliminate
evening and Saturday hours. This would effectively cut-off access to
the archives for working people and weekend visitors. An alternative
schedule is being proposed by the Records Preservation and Access Committee
(RPAC;
a joint NGS/FGS committee). Please read the message below and; if you
agree with RPAC's recommendations; sign the online petition at
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/FGS2006/petition.html before September 8.
This issue needs immediate support from the genealogical community.
Societies are asked to please forward this message to your organization's
e-mail list ASAP. Thank you.
