State Archives Facing Financial Woes- We need your help! June 13, 2010
Posted by decorationqueen in Conservation, archival, education, preservation.add a comment
Hello PALMCOP Members and Blog Followers,
The South Carolina Department of Archives and History has suffered another financial setback and they need our help. Director Eric Emerson sent the following note and we wanted to pass it along to all of you:
The SC Department of Archives and History needs your help. Yesterday, Governor Sanford announced his vetoes of the state budget. Among them were three cuts to the SC Department of Archives and History budget, totaling $980,945. (The House and Senate had approved a budget of the $2,445, 764 in state funds plus $200,000 in stimulus funds for the agency for FY 2010-2011.) A link to the Governor’s veto is below. http://www.scgovernor.com/NR/rdonlyres/1F1ECBAF-9D5D-4C9A-9BEF-136EDBC7F128/35706/H4657AppropriationsAct1.pdf <http://www.scgovernor.com/NR/rdonlyres/1F1ECBAF-9D5D-4C9A-9BEF-136EDBC7F128/35706/H4657AppropriationsAct1.pdf>
Veto 29: Administration and Planning – Other Operating Expenses $635,445
Veto 30: Old Exchange Building — $145,500
Veto 104: Stimulus Funds — $200,000
These cuts will make it impossible for Archives and History to continue to fulfill its mission.
If the services and programs of Archives and History have been helpful to you, would you consider letting your local legislator know today, as well as Representative Dan Cooper, Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Representative Chip Limehouse, Chair of the House subcommittee dealing with Archives and History. The legislature will be in session on Tuesday (June 15) to consider the Governor’s vetoes. Our ability to continue to serve you and the citizens of South Carolina depends upon your support.
To find your local legislators you can use this search page from the South Carolina Legislature Online. http://www.scstatehouse.gov/cgi-bin/zipcodesearch.exe <http://www.scstatehouse.gov/cgi-bin/zipcodesearch.exe>
