NARA Budget Proposed at $338 Million;
NHPRC in Jeopardy—Again
President Bush’s proposed FY 2007 budget once again zeroes out the
National Historical Publications and Records Commission, stating that, “The
Budget proposes no new grants funding… so that NARA can focus its resources
on its essential Federal records management mission.” NHPRC ultimately was
funded at $7.5 million in this year’s budget. View the proposed FY2007 budget
here.

DACS Erratum
Please note the following changes to Describing Archives: A Content
Standard: 1) On page 161, 14.1C2 refers to 11.1B5–11.B10; the reference should be to page 108 and rules 11.13–11.17. 2) On pages 220–221, “DACS to MARC21 and EAD” Table C5 of Appendix C—Crosswalks inadvertently contains some incomplete and erroneous mappings from DACS elements to those in the MARC21 format. All of these corrections will be made in future printings of DACS.
In the meantime, this erratum (PDF) is provided as a reference for archivists using the first, second, and third printings of DACS.
