Do you speak #archival language? Is it foreign to you, or are you a native speaker? In any case, today is the day to ask real #archivists real questions about what they do! #AskAnArchivist #AskAnArchivistDay

"So, um, how does someone like you end up making a living as an arhcivist?" - The Last Letter from Your Lover on Netflix did not disappoint! You can save that facial expression in the archival box😂 #archivalmeme

Honoring #women in #preservation on #InternationalWomensDay. This 1823 deed gave Martha Peter, stepdaughter of George Washington, full control of the Tudor Place property, paving the way for it to be an historic house & garden that opened in 1988. #WomensHistoryMonth

For #InternationalWomensDay, we’ve found some brilliant photographs in our collection of women who pushed boundaries, fought for their rights, gave to their communities, cared for others and simply spread joy.

#WorldBookDay2021 Here's to all booklovers out there! Those who collect them, and those who just read them once and move on. Those who teach reading, write or create books or care for them in their old and fragile age.💘📙

Oh, the staple of (most) paper conservation projects!
15 Feb 2021
STAPLES!! Abundant in paper based collections but they corrode leaving the paper stained and sometimes torn.
The staples were removed and pages were cleaned of surface dirt and iron oxide particles.

More #BehindtheScenes on the #conservation of the Athlone P&D (1786-9) accounts. Once the pages have been cleaned & pressed, they are placed on a transmitted lightbox. This makes it easier to see the areas to be repaired. @beyond_2022 @JessicaHBaldwin #SavedFromTheFire #WFH

In honor of Presidents' Day, I offer a favorite document image.
George Washington's copy of the Constitution, with his responsibilities and duties carefully noted in the margin ("President.")
He wanted to know the precise boundaries of his job.

On February 19, 1862, President Lincoln signed a formal order recommending the celebration of the birth of George Washington. Congress would declare it a federal holiday in 1885. The holiday was changed to the third Monday in February in 1971 & is now known as #PresidentsDay.

#JQA, the only POTUS to serve in the House AFTER his presidency, only made casual mention of his 1830 congressional election in his diary. #PresidentsDay #HistoryBlog bit.ly/2SRAIoD
