Subject: [ROOTS-L] Historical Societies

Does anyone know if the various Historical Societies are accountable for their operation, other than their board of directors?

If they receive 'grant' monies,  aAre they accountable to that agency for their operation?

Are they required to give documentation for responses to received requests vs. handwritten information without any notations?
