Hi everybody,
I encourage you to sign the petition. A very strong voice is needed in this
instance. To cut all the funding for something so important as our history
is unthinkable. I signed it the very minute the first notice came through my
e-mail.
To see what else you can do in order to help go to
http://www.archivists.org/news/nhprc-April2005.asp there is a whole list of
things that each of us can do to make a difference.
Warm regards,
Katy Hestand
