All repositories of historical records and artifacts are faced with the challenge to keep those holdings secure. On March 3, at 7 PM, the National Archives presents a panel discussion on Protecting Our National Treasures: The Impact and Prevention of Archival Theft. An expert panel will discuss the balance between providing access to researchers and visitors while maintaining security.

Paul Brachfeld, Inspector General for the National Archives, will be joined by Anne Sprightley Ryan, Inspector General for the Smithsonian Institution; Karl Schornagel, Inspector General for the Library of Congress, and Kelly Maltagliati, Special Agent for the National Archives Office of the Inspector General on the panel.

This program is free and open to the public. It will take place in the William G. McGowan Theater of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, at Constitution Ave. and 7th Street, NW.
