[Christina Fidler]

This came through the Western archives listserv and I thought it pertinent
to share here. It is in regards to the potential records destruction by the
current administration. See the original email below for ways to contact
NARA and express your concerns. The deadline is October 29, 2018.

Hi all,

I wanted to alert you to a very disturbing thing happening in the
National Archives world that may severely impact research, especially
historical and scientific research. The Dept of interior is asking for
permission to destroy records about oil and gas leases, mining, dams,
wells, timber sales, marine conservation, fishing, endangered species,
non-endangered species, critical habitats, land acquisition, and lots
more. Basically records from every agency within the Interior
Department, including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park
Service, US Fish & Wildlife Service, US Geological Survey, Bureau of
Safety and Environmental Enforcement, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
others. This is all content that would normally go to NARA for
collection and preservation. This is disturbing because previous
administrations would obfuscate records by classifying/reclassifying
records. This admin is basically just destroying records so th ey’ll
never be accessible.

There’s an October 29 deadline for comment to NARA:
request.schedule at nara.gov<mailto:request.schedule at nara.gov> /// fax:
301-837-3698 /// NARA (ACRA), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park MD
20740-6001. (Be sure to say that you’re referring to
DAA-0048-2015-0003.) Please forward to your networks and researchers
who may be effected.

NARA’s appraisal memo

This is tragic and terrible.
