The B.C. government has agreed to pay to the Royal B.C. Museum to properly archive 33,000 boxes of public records that have been sitting in a warehouse for up to a decade. The move comes after B.C.'s Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham lambasted the government last summer <https://www.oipc.bc.ca/special-reports/1664>for failing to properly take care of "acres of archives." <http://www.cbc.ca/earlyedition/podcast/2014/07/23/government-archive-backlog/> The boxes began piling up 11 years ago after responsibility for maintaining the B.C. Archives transferred from within government to the Royal B.C. Museum in 2003. http://bit.ly/1IXJGrA http://bit.ly/1IXJGrA+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org "The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
