Rumors of new hours

Jonathan Deiss Jul 5, 2017 1:12 PM

Can someone (on staff) please confirm or deny the rumor that NARA's research room hours will be changing significantly by being closed on Saturdays and open until 6:00PM on weekday evenings?

The research community should be consulted on how they feel about it. Will there be a comment period?

A single tweet was the extent of NARA's announcement? So it is public. information, now.

Research Services is ending Saturday operations to the public and extending weekday (M-F) operating hours by an hour. Effective July 22, 2017, all research room facilities within the Washington DC area will be open Monday-Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday hours at Research Services field locations were discontinued in November 2015.

This information has been posted on NARA's twitter, facebook, website, as well as sent to the Know Your Record email distribution group. We will ensure that we continue to communicate with the research community in the coming weeks.
