But their policies seem very generous in offering a wide variety of options and the ability to make copies oneself.<BR/><BR/>This contrasts with other archives and repositories which won't let you make photocopies yourself, and also won't let you bring in a digital camera, flash or no flash.<BR/><BR/>All of which brings to mind, along with the records access situation that varies among the states, that the NGS and APG and other genealogical organizations should push for best practices and model policies to be adopted in the states and at local levels with the goal of consistency. Local officials in hundreds of different repositories with varying/contradictory policies really don't all know best even if they think they do :). <BR/><BR/>MikeMikeFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587230319820652536noreply@blogger.com
