Did you hear? For the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year, U.S. 5th graders can bring their families to national parks, wildlife refuges and other Department of the Interior managed public lands and waters for free!

Not to mention election stress!

Lots of people heard that JFK liked reading and generously sent books to him at the White House! These wound up in our archives, so we can tell you that the number of 16th-century texts that traveled through the mail was not zero 😬 #ArchivesHorrorStories

Solving archival issues before they cause permanent loss of the historical record requires supplies, time, and trained staff - things many archives don’t have enough of. We’re grateful for the chance to fix the #ArchivesHorrorStories we can!

Working with @TheChildrensInn at @NIH is rewarding, to say the least. The Inn provides a #PlaceLikeHome for children and their families participating in pediatric research. Take a look at how we've been able to support their efforts. https://t.co/T6aGwcBtaV

Archivists don’t usually wear gloves while processing a collection, but we made an exception here because...*gestures vaguely at papers* #ArchivesHorrorStories
