#DigitalHumanities FTW! "... were able to confirm the manuscript’s authenticity after Harvard Law School photographed it under ultraviolet light and then subjected it to various levels of spectral imaging, a technique which can enhance aspects of historical documents undetectable to the human eye."
Harvard Law Paid $27 for a Copy of Magna Carta. Surprise! It’s an Original.

I've ordered records remotely from the National Archives part of the St. Louis facility too, from NARA Atlanta, GA, and I regularly order records from NARA Kansas City, MO.
I've done in-person research at 3 NARA facilities (or 4 depending how we count): NARA Pacific Region in Laguna Niguel, CA, and then later when it moved to Perris, CA and became NARA Riverside. Also at Archives II in College Park, MD and NPRC in St. Louis, MO.

My Thanksgiving weekend view. We escaped to our usual #Rosarito, Baja California, #Mexico getaway for a long quiet weekend of #rest and great food.
It feels good to get a shout-out from a #CSUF History grad school alum on his digital project about the Cristero War and diaspora. I worked with him for several years, teaching & consulting on #DH tools & methods, copyright, and Mexican & Mex-Am genealogy sources and methods. #digitalhumanities

So sorry, Pam. I went through that 2 years ago.
I made this for dinner tonight on this chilly drizzly So Cal evening. It's one of our favorite soups and so easy to make, by one of my favorite #keto and #carnivore food bloggers. I get 4 servings out of this instead of the 6 claimed in the recipe. #recipes
