Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Preserving the American Historical 
Record Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Much of the American historical record, such as 
        evidence of births, education, marriage, divorce, property 
        owned, obligations satisfied, and criminal conduct, is held at 
        the State and local level by organizations that preserve the 
        records that protect the rights of the Nation.
            (2) The United States has recognized the importance of 
        history by its support of national institutions such as the 
        National Archives, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian 
        Institution. Yet, this support is not adequate to reach the 
        rest of the Nation's archives being held in State and local 
        historical societies, archives, and library history 
        collections.
            (3) More resources need to be directed to State and local 
        organizations to ensure essential care of documents and 
        archival records in their many forms so that they can be 
        readily used by the people of this Nation.
            (4) History connects people to community--whether the 
        community is a family, a neighborhood, a city, a State, or a 
        Nation. Connections to the past are essential to sustaining 
        democracy, educating students, creating a sense of place in 
        family and community, supporting information needs in business 
        and legal affairs, and making reasoned decisions about the 
        Nation's future direction.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES.

    The purposes of this Act are--
            (1) to protect historical records from harm, to prolong 
        their life, and to preserve them for public use, through the 
        use of electronic records initiatives and plans for disaster 
        preparedness, recovery, and other preservation activities;
            (2) to use historical records in new and creative ways to 
        convey the importance of State, territorial, and community 
        history, including the development of teaching materials for 
        elementary, secondary, and postsecondary teachers, active 
        participation in National History Day, and support for lifelong 
        learning opportunities;
            (3) to provide education and training to archivists and 
        others who care for historical records, ensuring that they have 
        the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfill their important 
        responsibilities; and
            (4) to create a wide variety of access tools, including 
        archival finding aids, documentary editions, indexes, and 
        images of key records maintained on Internet websites of State 
        and local organizations.
