It was Sergio Gor, the head of the White House&#8217;s staff department, who announced the dismissal: &#8220;At the Direction of @realdonaldtrump The Archivist of the United States Has Been Dismissed Tonight,&#8221; Gor wrote on X. &#8220;We Thank Colleen Shogan for here.&#8221; Photo: Screenshot X \/ news-It is the first time in history that a national archivist has been fired, and it was particularly special that she was fired through X, says Kjetil Landrog, Secretary General of the Archives Association. This was disturbing, he says, but he is not worried that such will happen in Norway. &#8211; We are not worried about this in Norway, but we see how democracy is being built into some countries in Europe. So it shows that we have to be vigilant, he continues. &#8211; It is a work that is important, for the sources to be trusted, says Landrog.

The role of the National Archives has become even more significant lately and was investigated by Republicans following the search on Trump&#8217;s property in Florida, Mar-A-Lago Resort in 2022. Although Shogan knows that Trump is allowed to devote those he wants, she is skeptical about how this can affect the country in the near future. &#8211; The immediate consequences are that the archive is without a leadership. This does not make it possible for the institution to develop the way one would like, she says. The conference gathers interested from all over the country.

The program at the conference was broad, but focused on the Archives Act and the digitization of the cultural heritage. &#8211; I was very happy to receive this invitation. History preservation is important to make decisions in the future, she says. This work is only becoming more and more important, Shogan points out. &#8211; Archives hold both politicians and officials responsible for what they do and the decisions they make. Therefore, it is very important that we store these official documents, she concludes.
