National Archives to Host Annual Forum on Transparency and Access to Government Records | National Archives

"The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will host a substantive forum, “Transparency and Access to NARA Records,” on Wednesday, March 19, at 1 p.m. ET. This program will headline Sunshine Week, an annual nonpartisan, nationwide collaboration bringing together those in media, civics, and government. The forum will be held online and livestreamed on the National Archives YouTube Channel. Those interested in transparency may also attend an in-person livestream in the William G. McGowan Theater at the National Archives Building in Washington, DC.

Jill Reilly, NARA’s Acting Chief Innovation Officer, will moderate the forum, which will include a discussion with National Archives officials about NARA’s commitment to maximizing transparency and providing access to records. The discussion will focus on NARA’s efforts to digitize its records, leverage artificial intelligence, and improve its online experience for researchers. Reilly will be joined by Denise Henderson, Director of Digitization; Michael Knight, Director of Web Division; and Carol Lagundo, Director of Digital Partnerships and Outreach...."
