Here's a news item from the Associated Press:  BOISE, Idaho (AP) — It's been more than a century since Harry Orchard planted the bomb that killed former Idaho Gov. Frank Steunenberg outside his house in Caldwell on Dec. 30, 1905. But historians requesting a copy of Orchard's prison record from the Idaho State Historical Society might be disappointed in what they get. That's because state archives staff by law must redact the names of victims and witnesses — though these details are readily available from other sources, and the names in question are of people long dead. State Archivist Rod House says that takes time and money — not just for Orchard's records, but for thousands of other aging documents, too. So House's agency proposed a bill Wednesday in the state Senate to declare most records public 75 years after their creation; the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed to introduce the bill. Records like births, deaths and divorces in the state registrar's custody would still be subject to exemptions.
