MAC Statement on the Proposed Closures of NARA Regional Record Centers


Our MAC Council is alarmed by the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) plan to close three of its regional locations-Chicago, Seattle, and San Bruno, CA-in the coming years. This will have devastating effects on local users' abilities to access historically significant federal records as well as the impacted archival staff who have decades of knowledge and expertise working with the records themselves. The Council has released a statement regarding the recent proposed closures. To read the full statement, see:
