This Week’s Genealogy News:
(Mentions of businesses or societies in our News are unpaid and non-affiliate.)
This week’s news is brief, but both very important to the future of genealogy research:
YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED
RPAC – the Records Preservation & Access Coalition – has shared frightening news that the current US administration “has issued an executive order targeting the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The order directs the IMLS acting director to take immediate steps to eliminate the agency to the maximum extent allowable by law by determining its statutory requirements, laying off staff, and cutting programs deemed unnecessary by the presidential administration.
“The IMLS provides essential funding to libraries and museums in all 50 states and U.S. territories. The agency is crucial in providing all Americans with access to records, especially in rural areas. The American Library Association (ALA) and the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) are leading efforts to counter the Trump administration’s attack on the IMLS, and we urge you to support the IMLS through one or both of their campaigns. Here are the Links for further information and what YOU can do:
The American Library Association (ALA): https://www.ala.org/advocacy/show-up-for-our-libraries
the American Alliance of Museums (AAM): https://www.aam-us.org/2025/03/17/urgent-act-now-to-save-imls/
AND STILL ANOTHER CALL TO ACTION
The Association of Professional Genealogists (APG) has alerted their members and the public to upcoming legislation in the state of Indiana that would change the restriction on birth certificate access from 75 years to 99 years. It has passed in the House and is headed now to the state Senate. If you’d like to add your voice, they’ve outlined steps that you can take here: https://www.apgen.org/news_manager.php?page=39804
IF YOU’RE IN THE DC AREA APRIL 9…
The Records Preservation and Access Coalition (RPAC) is hosting its second Family History Hill Day in Washington, D.C., on April 9, 2025. This special event invites RPAC advocates and the genealogy community to meet with Members of Congress and their staff. The focus for 2025 is to secure funding for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Supporting NARA is crucial for preserving and accessing genealogical records, and your participation can make a significant impact.
