In the opening session of the National Genealogical society 2014 annual conference, Jordan Jones announced the participation and support of the NGS in the Genealogists’ Declaration of Rights.
The declaration goes on to list the things our representatives can and should do, such as preserving our freedom to access public records of our government.
Attendees were invited to sign the declaration.
I hope the entire declaration will soon be available online. Perhaps the Records Preservation and Access Committee, one of the declaration’s sponsors will place it on their website (http://www.fgs.org/rpac/).
