Dang, if it really is almost dead that's a bummer. I'm gonna miss the cool intersection of archives/PA/history folks I met here.

I was pretty late to Twitter so I'll prob be late to whatevers next tbh. But I'm always around at the state archives, come see me sometime!

Bought an old used book today and it absolutely reeks of cigarette smoke. The more I read the worse it gets...ugh. I've never had this happen before

I wrote this for the archivists who love throwing things away. I see you. I love you. @contingent_mag https://t.co/uQYa8ANhgW

It's #HistoricBridgeAwarenessMonth! Photographed in 1930, this stone eagle was placed on top of a stone pillar located at the western edge of the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Bridge, also known as the State Street Bridge, in Harrisburg. A duplicate was placed across the street.

@AlaskaGirl74 So the original tweet is locked so I can't read it ir comments anymore, but I thought it said the teacher was having their students use digitized archival documents from Carlisle to teach about the experience of those students. Did I miss something?

[Ty Stump @ArchivistTy]

Awesome use of archival collections from the Carlisle Digital Resource Center!

The centre stone of an archway is the KEYSTONE.
The two curves either side of the keystone are called HAUNCHES.
The inner surface of an arch is the INTRADOS.
The wedge-shaped stones from which an arch is built are called VOUSSOIRS.
The two lowest voussoirs are called SPRINGERS.

Tell me you're an archivist without telling me you're an archivist...

Colonial newspapers contributed to the perpetuation of slavery. Advertised 250 years ago today: “RUN AWAY ... a NEGROE slave, called CATO ... broke into a house in York-Town, and stole from, thence upwards of Ninety Pounds.” (Pennsylvania Gazette 10/28/1772)

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Three years ago, the infamous downtown sinkhole partially swallowed a Port Authority bus.

Officials said the sinkhole opened up while the bus was stopped at a traffic light. The bus was lifted out of the sinkhole by cranes later that day https://t.co/GYdOpJ0J0j
