Nancy Zimmelman is California's first female state archivist. Appointed to
her position in 2006, Nancy has been with the California State Archives for 20
years. The Archives, located at 1020 "O" Street in Sacramento, collects,
catalogs, preserves and provides access to the historic records of state
government and some local government. The Archives also administers an oral history
program.
During her years with the Archives, Nancy Zimmelman has directed the
California Legislative Archives Program and was responsible for the care of the Los
Angeles Police Dept.'s files of the investigation of Robert F. Kennedy's
assassination. She has most recently focused on issues relating to electronic
records and digital records preservation, to insure that those records, along with
paper-based records, will be available to researchers and historians for years
to come.
Nancy will talk May 21 on a number of topics: the role of the State
Archivist, why records are important, the historical tradition of public access, the
Freedom of Information Act and California Public Records Act, the secrecy divide
and the history of secrecy in the U.S., Executive Order 13233 & the
Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007, State records restrictions, the cost of
restricted access and changing the pattern.

Einstein Residence Center, 1935 Wright St., Sacramento. For more information
