It may seem kind of lazy of me to keep quoting posts from IAJGS Public Records Access Alert. But I honestly think these are the most significant stories I’ve heard about during the last three months. If you think there’s something better I could publicize, please, let me know! In the meantime, I will be following this story with great interest. Reclaim the Records is going after billions of digital images and text metadata from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It’s not a lawsuit yet, but a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
