The importance now accorded to public records has been recognized as one outcome of the French Revolution, when for the first time an independent national system of archive administration was set up, for whose preservation and maintenance the state was responsible and to which there was public access.
Every state, broadly speaking, now recognizes the need to preserve its own official records and is expected to maintain a system of archive administration, which has the function of collecting them, preserving them, and making them publicly available after the appropriate lapse of time.
Congress can object to the Clinton library plan and prevent the archives administration from taking possession.
"The Charters of Freedom are the primary records of the nation, the underpinnings of our society," said John W. Carlin, archivist of the United States and head of the archives administration.
But Ms. Fawcett, who has been with the archives administration for 35 years, said, "There is a very strong possibility that we will hear nothing from Congress".
Under a plan that the archives administration turned over to Congressional leaders last month, the endowment for the $175 million Clinton library is $7.2 million.
This plan was very flexible, for in a large monastery there would be several cloisters or courts with suitable independent arrangements for archives, administration, guests, wayfarers, servants, artisans, shops, and folds; special quarters were provided by such courts for retired or sick monks and for novices.
Although the institution of archives and something of archival administration may be traced from antiquity, archives and archival administration as they are understood today date from the French Revolution.
UPDATE: While it's typical to archive previous administration pages under new leadership, as Snopes.com points out, the fact remains that the new White House page removes mention of "climate change" and promotes a new energy policy page which specifically states it will pursue the elimination of key environmental policies like the Climate Action Plan.
Using personal emails for government business could violate the Presidential Records Act, which requires that all official White House communications and records be preserved as a permanent archive of each administration.
The GPs registered event date, birth date of patient, gender, event category (practice administration (archive; medical record; appointment; other), diagnostic (wrong diagnosis; delayed diagnosis; missed diagnosis; other), therapeutic (wrong, incomplete; delayed; none, though it should be; other), communication (with patients; with caregivers; other)), and additional remarks and/or context.
