This announcement is alarming. It is unclear what "a legitimate business need" means or who will make that determination. Are they planning to review the research plans of individual scholars? https://www.archives.gov/college-park #NationalArchives #authoritarianism

@markstoneman

If anybody's got time, maybe they could develop some kind of legitimate business need before it closes to them, so you can monitor what's happening.

I'm checking my own local National Archives site....

@seachanged @markstoneman

My NARA is the Southeast Regional in Morrow, Georgia.
Which *literally* shares a parking lot with the Georgia State Archives, which years ago was in the news because the GA Secretary of State (Brian Kemp, currently governor) tried to close that state archives because it didn't generate enough income to pay its own operating expenses ... much less a profit.

It's the Republicans.

@BRMiller @markstoneman

Agree completely.

I expect that they're trying to change the past by mutilating the contents of the National Archives there.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.
