The decision to pack up and move the National Archives at Seattle to Southern California and Kansas City, Missouri, has rattled those who have spent hours doing research in the mammoth facility. Seattle Times has the full story here

Wonder if there is an inventory of the documents and if there will be an objective party verifying that the records are moved properly and completely?
