The closure of NARA’s
Anchorage office has received a great deal of attention lately – see this article by Dermot Cole about the transfer of records and the decision to move
some to the Alaska State Archives in Juneau.
Regarding the proposed
digitization of Alaska records, the National Archives is inviting feedback from
the public on which records should be prioritized for this action.
According to NARA,
“After we receive your feedback, NARA will also take into
consideration access and use restrictions, preservation issues, series size,
and ease of digitization when determining the final prioritization. Your
participation will also help NARA better understand the interests and needs of
researchers and stakeholders, as well as further participation and transparency
in an open government.”
