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. They are asking for everything, census, immigration records, military files, everything that NARA has through its public-private digitization program. The FOIA request was filed on October 14. In their FOIA request, they assert the public-private partnership contains millions of records, individual documents found at <https://www.archives.gov/digitization/digitized-by-partners>. The partners listed include Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, Fold3.com (a member of Ancestry family of companies) which digitized selected NARA microfilm publications and original records and made them available on their websites. While Ancestry.com and Fold3.com are subscription sites, and Familysearch.org is a free site, all are available with free access in the Research Rooms at the National Archives and the regional archives and Presidential Libraries. In exchange for these firms digitizing the historical records, NARA agreed to let these partners have the exclusive use of the newly digitized material on their websites for a certain amount of time. The exclusivity period was to be a limited time periods either three or five years, then NARA was to be able to disseminate the digitized public records both the images and metadata that accompanied them. Reclaim the Records requests: • Every single record created under the public-private digitization partnership with Ancestry.com, Fold3.com, Archives.com –all part of the Ancestry family of companies, and Family Search. They are not asking for records created through NARA partnerships with smaller entities such as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). • All of the digital images, in their original, full-size, uncompressed, and non-watermarked versions. Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 2 • All of the associated text metadata (names, dates, places, etc.) also created under the partnership agreement, which goes along with those images, making them searchable. • All copies of finding aids, training materials, handbooks, checklists, formatting guidelines, data dictionaries, data templates, data lists, or other internal documentation that explains more about the digitization of these images and the transcription and compilation of their associated text metadata, and how they relate to each individual data set. • Any records that were digitized under NARA’s partnership program that may not have been properly delivered or returned to NARA after their digitization was completed. • All of these files, the images and text metadata and finding aids and data dictionaries and so on, be turned over to us in their original digital formats, as they were delivered to NARA by the partners, or turned over for the first time if the partner never delivered the final files • All copies to be provided on portable USB drives–the cost of drives, shipping and insurance borne by Reclaim the Records • Reclaim the Records wants to be considered a “media requestor” for the FOIA fee calculations, therefore not paying for any research or review fees only duplication fess after the first 100 pages of material. Reclaim the Records asserts that NARA never posted online the majority of the records that were digitized under the partnership agreements. The FOIA request especially focuses on Ancestry. com which is a private corporation, which includes Fold3.com and Archives.com, stating “the vast majority of the billions of records digitized through NARA’s partnership program are now available only behind Ancestry’s subscription paywall, or through companies now owned by Ancestry with their own additional subscription paywalls.” They state that NARA created a de facto monopoly on nearly all digital copies of American digital documents such as census and immigration records, even if that was not NARA’s intent. They also contend that NARA denied independent requests for the copies of partnership-related data by two genealogy- related corporations and one-non-profit organization saying they would put the records online themselves through their Catalog or API.

Suddenly, I am getting a “Not Found” message when I try to access the site. Do you know of this site and, if so, have you heard if it is relocated or discontinued? If not, do you know who else I could ask? <http://www.westpreussen.de/einwohner/index.php?m=surnames> Ruth Susmarski <[email protected]> Editor – I’m giving that URL in red to mark it as a broken link; don’t waste time clicking on it. I did a little digging, and found that the basic website, <http://www. westpreussen.de>, is still intact. That suggested the same features may be there, but organized differently. This looked to me like the same database: <http://westpreussen.de/pages/forschungsergebnisse/einwohnerdatenbank/ einwohner.php> Ruth checked and verified this is the site she was looking for, and she kindly gave me permission to cite her name and email address. She wanted to add that she first learned of this database in 2016 from Brian “Al” Wierzba, who has a great blog titled Al’s Polish- American Genealogy Research Blog. She felt he deserves credit for the info he shares, and I agree. Al’s site is here: <https://apagr.com/>. As for the URL change for the database, I don’t know why the webmaster of the Westpreussen.de site didn’t install a link to accept the old URL and forward visitors to the new one; that would have been a considerate thing to do. But it’s easy to criticize others for not running their sites the way you think you would. Try running your own website, and you realize how hard it is to remember to update everything. As a bit of general advice, when a favorite web page goes missing, it’s always worthwhile to trim the URL down to the most basic form, before all the forward slashes start, and see if that home page is still up and running. If it is, then you can do a little searching in the various categories listed and see if your favorite has been relocated to one of them. But if that base site is gone, about all you can do is hunt for the archived versions on the Wayback Machine at <http://web.archive.org/>. *************************************** *** POLISH CITIZENSHIP: THE LATEST FROM POLISH ORIGINS *** Editor – I like to pass along the latest info sent out by PolishOrigins, because these updates often discuss questions of great interest to Polish-American researchers. The following is an edited version of a recent post to PolishOrigins’ blog. If you like, you can read the whole thing here: <https://blog.polishorigins.com/live-in-poland/#more-9443>. Gen Dobry!, Vol. XXI, No. 10, October 2020 — 4 For many years we have been getting questions about becoming a Polish citizen. The requests for advice were made through our Forum, via emails, or by our tours’ guests. In the last case these questions were often preceded by words like: “I feel like home here…”, “Now I understand so much better why my grandparents missed the “Old Country””, or ”I have a feeling that my life made a circle and I am back where I belong….” The number of inquiries about obtaining Polish citizenship has risen dramatically in recent months. It may be a result of the genealogy research services we started to provide this March, but we are not sure if it is the only reason for the increased interest.

  • Silesian Administrative Authorities and Territorial Transformations of Silesia (1918-1945)
    Tomasz Kruszewski Institute of History of State and Law, University of Wrocław Silesian administrative authorities and territorial transformations of Silesia (1918-1945) Abstract: The publication concerns conditions in the 19th and 20th centuries leading to the dissolution of Silesian unity as well as the viewpoints of German, Polish and Czechoslovakian political au- thorities regarding Silesian unity following World War I, while also taking into account the viewpoints of Church institutions. The text is an analysis and a summary of existing works on the subject matter, with the main area of interest being the analysis of legal, organizational and administrative institutions concerning their policies towards the dissolution of Silesian unity. The latter half of the 19th century was chiefly responsible for the breakup of Silesian unity, due to the rise of the idea of nationalism leading to the idea of nation-states. The materialization of this idea in respect of Silesia, a region inhabited by three nations, two of which were then build- ing their own states, could only mean the dissolution of the monolithic administrative structure erected within the Second German Reich. The realisation of these ideas was brought on by World War I, in whose wake the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Czechoslovakian were born, while the Second German Reich collapsed. Keywords: Silesia, administration, Church history, political life, interwar period Introduction: political and legal factors behind the disintegration of the uniform province of Silesia The defeat of the Wilhelmine Reich in the First World War brought about the final collapse of the territorial unity of Silesia; it has never been restored.

    CUIUS Cuius regio? REGIO Ideological and Territorial Cohesion of Silesia vol. 3 eds Lucyna Harc, Przemysław Wiszewski, Rościsław Żerelik Silesia under the Authority of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) (1741–1918) Silesia under the Authority of Hohenzollerns vol. 3 Silesia under the Authority This volume contains a collection of studies which are the product of research of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) on the formation of Silesia as a region in the period 1740-1918. It is another portion of the summary of research undertaken by a team of Polish historians in conjunction with their participation in the programme of the European Science Foundation entitled Cuius regio. An analysis of the cohesive and disruptive forces determining the attachment and commitment of (groups of) persons to and the cohesion within regions. The project’s assumptions were for original analyses to be conducted on five factors significant in the functioning of the region: administration (Paweł Jaworski), economy (Teresa Kulak), social groups (Wanda Musialik and Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers), ethnic issues (Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers) and the national and cultural identity of the region’s inhabitants (Teresa Kulak). In each of the spheres analysed in this book, what has been demonstrated is the prevalence of disintegrating factors in the region from the period of its seizure by the armies of Frederick II until the conclusion of World War I. Top-down efforts undertaken by the authorities aimed at integrating the region with the Prussian state, and then with the Reich, did not fully achieve their objectives. The split into the two sub-regions of Upper and Lower Silesia would seem to be inevitable, in spite of particular unifying elements, particularly in the economic sphere during the second half of the 19ʰ and beginning of the 20ʰ century.

  • Geographical Characteristics of Silesia
    Gerard Kosmala Academy of Physical Education in Katowice Geographical characteristics of Silesia Abstract: This article contains basic geographical information about Silesia, useful as a starting point for further historical analysis. Silesia is a region of central Europe located within the borders of several nations. At different times in its history it has been part of Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. The rough outline of the relief of Silesia was formed in the Paleozoic Era, finally reaching its ultimate form in the Cenozoic Era. The same holds true for both the Sudetes as well as the entire tectonic fore- land, which was shaped by a glacier. Silesian land has always been rich in mineral resources such as building rocks, coal and copper, although only few of these can be found in abundance. The terrain’s shape results from the general structure of the hydrographical network which, with the exception of the eastern frontiers, is symmetrical, with the Odra river, flowing from the south-east to the north- west, as the axis of symmetry. Reservoirs have been built along many rivers for both energy-related and retention purposes. Due to the total absence of lakes, these reservoirs are the largest bodies of water in Silesia. The temperate, transitory climate with an annual average rainfall of 600–700 mm and average annual temperature of 8 °C results in conditions which are favourable for vegetation. Considering the abun- dance of fertile land one can easily understand why the agricultural scenery dominates the landscape. This, along with the development of industry at the base of the Sudetes and in the south-eastern part of Upper Silesia, is the reason for the relatively small amount of woodland areas.
