Open records guide made
By Ed Brock November 23, 2002
Members of the media have the right to access individual Social Security
numbers, but that individual's bank account number is out of bounds.
That's the kind of knowledge contained a new booklet called "Georgia Law
Enforcement and the Open Records Act: A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to
Open Records in Georgia."

Denton sheriff reinstates inmate work program
Trial period started at request of county judge because of backlog
By TOM REEDY / Denton Record-Chronicle
Records have been piling up in Denton County over the last month – birth
records, death records, deeds and the like.
They have been waiting to be transferred onto microfilm. Since the first week
of October, the workers who did the job – jail inmates – were no longer
allowed to work there.
Citing security reasons, Sheriff Weldon Lucas had halted the use of inmates,
called trusties, for county labor.

Public to get access to Cabinet files after five years
By Miriam Donohoe
Official Government documents previously made public only after a lapse of 30
years
are to be accessible in future after a five-year period.
The dramatic change in the time limit for access to sensitive Cabinet papers
comes
under a provision of the Freedom Of Information (FOI) Act.

Caring for the apartheid records that survived
'Irreplaceable archives are disappearing'
VERNE HARRIS
Between 1996 and 1998 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) undertook
an investigation into the destruction of records by the apartheid state. It
discovered that a massive destruction exercise, authorised at the highest
levels and concentrated in the security establishment, had taken place in the
period 1990-1994. Surprisingly, the TRC was able nevertheless to locate and
document substantial accumulations of security records that had survived this
devastating erasure of state memory resources.
