I'm excited to share that today, the Public Archives Resiliency Act was introduced in the US Senate! The legislation supports increased appropriations to IMLS and NHPRC to fund climate resiliency efforts of archives and archivists, including increased staffing and no cost share requirements. It was inspired by @TeamMidwest 's A Green New Deal for Archives. Markey's staff worked with Eira, me, and many other stakeholders to draft the legislation.🤝 https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/sens-markey-hirono-and-rep-adams-introduce-legislation-to-promote-conservation-and-preservation-of-government-and-historic-records #archives #ClimateChange
