Mayor Bowser’s proposed 2026 budget completely eliminates the new DC State Archives building at UDC. This last minute, irresponsible decision, which was made in secret without any input from experts or the community, erases a decade of grueling work.
See the statement of the DC Archives Foundation on the cancellation of the construction of the new DC Archives facility in the Mayor's budget. We'll meet on June 4, 5:30 pm on Zoom. Email us for the Zoom link: friendsdcarchives@gmail.com. Register to testify at: lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/hea...
