On a train to a small town when I'll be appraising some records in a 100 yr+old hospital. Have been promised a ghost. Living my best archivist life.
It helps that some of these government agencies are just so incredibly ridiculous and shameless in how they treat public records requests that you can't help but laugh at them.
@ReclaimTheRecs I love that you guys not only kick ass, you kick ass with humor.

There is a lot of good work going on behind the scenes this year @ReclaimTheRecs. I’m so happy to be making a meaningful contribution in my internship for them. What we are accomplishing is a personal highlight of my doctorate program. https://twitter.com/ReclaimTheRecs/status/1622781117274394625

Speak out: Tell USCIS to get their records management act together. Show us a plan to fix the 2+ year backlog. Show us a plan to transition these historical records to the National Archives (like they promised in 2020). https://www.recordsnotrevenue.com/

@book_historia no, white gloves are always necessary for handling materials. that's why I'm wearing them right now as I wait for these TIFs to transfer to the preservation server
The key takeaway is here: agencies cannot use exempt information as primary keys and then claim an exemption to withhold information about how records are related to each other.
