In the 19th, a concern has been raised about national park signs. These signs specifically relate to the history of women and LGBTQ+ individuals. It has been noted that they are disappearing. A librarian, Jenny McBurney, who specializes in government publications, recently learned about the removal of these signs. This news came to her while she was in Washington, D.C. in June. Further details about the removal of these signs are available, including information from the Department of Interior, which oversees the national park system. Librarians like McBurney are working to preserve the record of these signs.
