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 The Archives in DC is open everyday and open to the public.

And the Archives location at College Park (under discussion here) has a lot of World War-era unit records, and general A/V resources. Plus the entire JFK Assassination files.

@BRMiller @markstoneman I assume if you are an academic or author researcher - no problem with access.

@nedhamson1 @markstoneman

An independent author researcher? An independent researcher working on what they hope is their first book? Or only researchers affiliated with recognized entities? (I'm' gonna be p*ssed if Liberty University, etc. make the cut.)

@BRMiller @markstoneman I think Liberty U. should be decertified and lose not-for-profit status
