A patchwork of information & artifacts makes Lorraine Richard's tale one for the record books. Brittany digs into Lorraine's past & discusses how to keep her keepsakes - from quilts to documents - safe, now & in the future. #genealogy #archives #podcast myamericantale.com/ep2-lorra…

As we celebrate freedom today, I can't stop thinking about the millions of Americans who no longer have the Constitutional right to make decisions about their own bodies. We'll never realize our ideal of being the land of the free if Americans don't have bodily autonomy. #July4th

This 1918 "Welcome Home" poster from the Philadelphia Public Register (operating 1836-1942) was a great #HappyFourth find - in an old bible, no less! Its colors are amazing - it looks like it's brand new! #AmericanHistory #archives reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/c…

A redditor recently shared a picture of his great, great grandfather reading his Medal of Honor citation outside the White House in 1929 - and another redditor shares the text. #AmericanHistory #archives reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/c…
