Happy Fourth!
Happy Independence Day. In honor of the holiday, I’m posting a link to an excellent page at the National Archives, where you can reread and see visuals of America’s founding documents. If you ever get a chance to visit D.C. — or live here and have never been — the National Archives is worth a visit. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is quite literally the record-keeper for the nation, preserving all of our country’s valuable documents and materials.
Tool around NARA’s website and be amazed at some of the content available right there, for free. (Well, paid for with tax dollars.) The work of reporters, historians, and many others would be difficult to nearly impossible without NARA, so as you salute your country, also salute the archivists who help tell its story to the world.
