The
shutdown of the US Federal Government does affect us genealogists both
personally and as family history researchers.
Here are
two announcements pasted on Facebook (FB) about how we are affected.
If you know
of other closures that impact us as we research our ancestors, please post a
comment!
Research
at the US
National Archives
Due to the
Federal Government shutdown, the National Archives (www.archives.gov) is
closed. We are unable to post or participate in any of our social media
channels during this closure. All National Archives facilities are closed, with
the exception of the Federal Records Centers and the Federal Register until the
Federal government reopens.
The Library of Congress
Due to the
temporary shutdown of the federal government, the Library of Congress is closed
to the public and researchers beginning Oct. 1, 2013 until further notice. All
public events are cancelled and web sites are inaccessible except the
legislative information sites THOMAS.gov and beta.congress.gov.
