The Montgomery County Archives staff and resources have helped me tremendously. My family has a long heritage in Montgomery County particularly in Glen and Charleston. My Father and I have visited during research trips, spending money in the local community during our stay and also purchasing materials at the Archives. If you cut the position you will make it harder for researchers like us to visit and the local economy will be hit even harder when researchers stop visiting. Reports have shown that genealogists and family historians bring much needed money to old towns. Don't be short sighted by cutting this position. Think of all the money you will be losing in the larger picture.
