National Archives Digitization priorities
Speaking of NARA, the agency asked the public what it wants digitized, and had a tremendous response. This article from the NARA blog talks about where the focus will be over the next 18-24 months. Looks like quite a bit will be of interest to genealogists, especially those searching for naturalization or military-related records. Thanks to Research Buzz for both this information and yesterday's.
