Roadblocks, Red Lights and Detours: Records Access for Genealogists  (S-317)

Instead, even as so many records are coming online, doors are being slammed shut on so many more – often records that aren’t and won’t be online, now and perhaps ever. As a community and as individuals, learn what we can do to protect records access.
