Members of the Society of American Archivists,
I am writing today to address the recent Wall Street Journal article that contained inaccurate and misleading information about exhibits at the National Archives. I understand that the article's mischaracterizations may have caused confusion and concern among some in the archival community. Let me be very clear, the article does not accurately depict our work at the National Archives.
