A forgotten “copy” of Magna Carta, bought for $27.50 in 1946, was authenticated as a 1300 original—one of only eight known. Found in Harvard Law’s digital archive, it’s a powerful reminder of the treasures waiting in collections. #MuseumArchives #MagnaCarta #CollectionsMatter
Magna Carta ‘copy’ once sold at Sotheby's is an original, say UK professors
The document was consigned to the auction house in 1946 then, later the same year, purchased by Harvard Law School for just $27.50

This was a seriously fun case of #NaturalHistoryBycatch from #diceCT data. Very cool to work on a #specimen collected in the 1970's that had these data hidden inside. Just another example of why #CollectionsMatter!
