Plan for Digitizing Archival Materials for Public Access, 2007-2016

I've been waiting for this and it has been delivered just as promised. I was really trying to keep the National Archives and Records Administration plans on electronic material on my radar. I knew that they'd have a first phase out this fall and...tah-dah! Here it is. And, they want to hear from YOU!!! This is big, I mean, how often do the Feds give a crap what we think?

Click on the DRAFT to view all 25 pages.

Then, MAKE YOUR VOICE MATTER by sending the NARA your thoughts. Is the plan thorough? What do you feel is missing? What are the plan's strong points? Did you learn anything from the plan? Etc...

Why should you care? Cause this is OUR livelihood, as Americans, as a younger generation, as preservationists in our own rights, as people who appreciate education through direct learning. The past will help guide us into the future. History repeats itself all the time and this draft may (or may not) help us access that history. Speak your mind.
