Dear Editor,
I read your article, 'National Archives to be named after
Rodney', in the June 15 issue of the Stabroek News.
In reviewing the International Council on Archives list of
national archives throughout the world, I cannot find a single
instance where a national archives includes the name of an
individual in its title.
Even in nations where political motivations or cults of
personality drive a renaming of institutions, landmarks, etc., none
have gone this far. I feel this is an ill-considered move.
Yours faithfully,
John Wilmer

People it is time to cease complaining and
commence writing letters of concern of the
neglect by the Govt of Guyana of these records . Letters to the
office of the president gets dumped and letters to Minister Gail Texeira are ignored .
The Indentureship Database
Project (IDP) , has tried relentlessly to secure
permission at no cost to the Government and or people of Guyana to
have these records digitalized .
How can the ruling PPP party
and President Bharat Jagdeo ignore the history of a people who
carried them for 5 decades ?
