Notice

Posted to the door of the Records Division. Date of original posting unknown.

The Records Division of the Bureau of Recreational Vehicles is, at present, unstaffed. This has been the case since 1991, when the Records Archivist position was vacated and not refilled following Reorganization 89-04.

Written inquiries are received and returned in the order in which they are received. Response times are not guaranteed. The Bureau cannot, in good faith, estimate when an inquiry will be answered.

Walk-in visits to the Records Division are discouraged. The Field Office cannot, at present, locate the Records Division within the Region IV facility.
