Yesterday, I had the most awesome experience ever. I got to spend an afternoon at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
I took the photo above, which you’ll notice is at a slight angle. The guard inside had informed me that I could take photos, as long as I didn’t get any security personnel in the pictures. So … being afraid I might accidentally catch one through the window, I took the photo at an angle. That way I could avoid being arrested or wrestled to the ground, which worked out best for everyone, I think. 🙂
I hadn’t been to the National Archives in so many years. The last time I went there was when I was in library school, way back when.
I must say, the place is absolutely a researcher’s dream. They have all sorts of documents, plus audio and video files!
But, best of all, they have a YouTube channel! 🙂
So check out what I found on the National Archives YouTube channel!
Isn’t that cool? But you know what’s even cooler?
I got to take a tour of the archives with the amazing Jeff Krulik, the documentary filmmaker who made Ernest Borgnine on the Bus! 🙂
Jeff Krulik and me.
PS: Don’t forget I’ll be signing books tomorrow at Small Business CEO CoLabs, 8101 Sandy Spring Rd., Suite 290, Laurel, MD. Use the driveway next to the Laurel Municipal Building (8101) to get to 8103. Got that? 🙂 Click here to register for the event, which is FREE!
