[Genealib] Working with the local community & government to make sure things are not thrown away

[Leslie Couture]

Has anyone worked with - had any experience in - communicating with the public and local government to develop policies to preserve records for historical purposes?

I am not necessarily trying to build a collection, but am wanting to encourage other not to throw things away.

It has been suggested that we contact local photography studios and the high schools (for yearbooks).

Does anyone else have other suggestions?  Or a way to go about this?
