Claire Kluskens (the "Former Subject Matter Expert for Genealogy/Census-Related Records at U.S. National Archives and Records Administration" from her LinkedIn headline) has added a webpage at her website "The Twelve Key" on "NARA News" -
"This page provides links to sources, articles, and webpages with important news about the National Archives and Records Administration."
The notification she emailed to blog subscribers states "It’s important for the genealogical, historical, veteran, and other research communities to follow changes in key personnel and policies at the National Archives and Records Administration. In addition, administrative and legal decisions shape – for good or ill – the records kept for future generations."
She doesn't post a lot, or frequently, but it's always good stuff!
