García led lawmakers opposing NARA’s planned Chicago archives relocation, citing risks to access, expertise, and historic records.
Quiver AI Summary
García leads letter opposing archive relocation: Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García says he led a letter signed by 20 House and Senate members urging the Archivist of the United States to stop NARA’s plan to close or move a regional archive and Federal Records Center in Chicago.
Members cite records access concerns: The letter says the move could limit access to more than 140,000 cubic feet of historical records and could affect staff expertise and the records themselves. It says the facility holds materials tied to topics including Abraham Lincoln, civil rights, immigration, and Chicago history.
Broader criticism and next steps: The release says historians’ and archivists’ groups have also raised concerns about the closures and lack of consultation. García is also backing legislation that would prevent NARA from unilaterally closing archival facilities.
