A tidbit from old friend Addie. I hope that some of you are planning to attend...Addie Hi, I did some checking on this subject today and the hearing, as I suspected, has nothing specific to genealoy and is more of a housekeeping function for other State agencies. Many of you are probably not aware that the Oregon State Archives has a Records Management program where they help all public agencies, State, County, City, etc. manage the records from their specific agency. This includes preservation, storage, longevity, protection of personnel information, etc. Everyone is, of course, welcome to attend the hearing and it might be enlightening to do so. From a personal standpoint, I can assure you that Archives Staff, including MaryBeth Herkert, head of the Records Management Section, are all interested in protecting any records we, as genealogists, might be interested in.

I printed and read the linked material and as Darlene says, this hearing has absolutely nothing to do with anything even remotely genealogical.
