The anticipated publication date is spring 2023. The purpose of this publication is to articulate two major threats to US archives: climate change and a destabilized workforce. The publication will review the historical precedent for major public support for archival work and sketch out the beginnings of public policy for archives to ensure their future viability and relevance in our uncertain future. Archives are a public good, and this publication will argue that therefore archives need significant public investment for their continuity and survival.
