American History

US National Archives & Records Administration Exhibit Hall. Some good American history pieces - the Emancipation Proclamation, government drawings, 20th century photographs, the New Deal and the arts, panoramic photography, 1970s Chicago, World War 2 posters, gifts to presidents, and more.

Previous posts on the Navajo code talkers and when Nixon met Elvis.

Looks like King John spilled his latte on the Magna Carta.

This is fabulous. Thanks.

I don't know why I've never checked out this site before. I make it a point to stop by the Archives building and check out the exhibits every time I'm in D.C. It's been awhile since I've been out there and I miss the exhibits. This isn't exactly the same as being there, but it's definitely the next best thing.
