1. My biggest concern is the access to indexes, which NARA currently has at Varick Street, indexes which are in some case are handwritten, in many cases they are microfilmed card indexes that have been digitized, but I often find things on them that have been incorrectly transcribed when they were digitized and put onto Ancestry and so forth so I think the indexes are very important treasures to maintain since they go a generation back from the computerized records.
