Hello, Roundtable! The National Archives has an interesting new
exhibit going on - "Records of Rights" - that provides examples of how
the archival record is crucial to documenting our rights as citizens
in a democratic society. Obviously this is one of the most important
functions of archives, and something that I think we as archivists
ought to always be aware of and be ready to defend.

Have a great day, all.
