My dear friend and colleague Robert Charles Anderson passed away yesterday. Bob was the finest scholar in the field of #Genealogy I had ever known. A library of knowledge is now gone, yet preserved in his scholarship with @americanancestors.bsky.social He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Found a copy of the Ottawa Citizen from Feb 15, 1965 in my parent’s basement with Queen Elizabeth II proclaiming “a red flag of the proportions two by length and one by width, retaining in its centre a white square the width of the flag, bearing a single red maple leaf” to be Canada’s National Flag

Welcome to the public domain, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1929) by Erich Maria Remarque. This masterpiece's portrayal of the human cost of war is timeless. 🌍💥 📖 Learn more. ➡️ blog.archive.org/2025/01/01/welcome… #PublicDomainDay #InternetArchive

Quote from Erich Maria Remarque's, All Quiet on the Western Front (1929), reads, "It’s all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. We don’t act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces." Quote framed by "Welcome to the Public Domain" text and graphic.

Had a great conversation today with a public historian about how #genealogy can be used to document local history... and the ways we can make genealogy resources more accessible. Options included helping libraries establish FamilySearch affiliate status.

OMG, one of my FOIA requests that I made through @reclaimtherecords.org actually came back with an acknowledgment letter! And they will be able to send me a file! This is the third request I made, btw. There's been nothing about the first, second, or fourth requests, from the same day. #genealogy

It is clear that data critical to genealogy (and other disciplines) is being systematically stripped from federal websites. Census Bureau data IS being removed, and census data geeks at IPUMS verify and are taking whatever steps they can to preserve the data for the future. Scary times we live in.
