Rice on History

Finis!

Well, I’m finally done uploading all of my Archives pictures. I hope these images will benefit students and researchers who stumble across them. For now, much of this blog’s content can only be found here. As for the duplicates of fuller or higher-quality scans found elsewhere, perhaps a fresh perspective will make someone’s morning.

I’d like to thank the wonderful people in the Center for Legislative Archives who cheerfully tolerated this project. Their own outreach efforts are fantastic—I highly encourage you to visit the Center’s Tumblr, Congress in the Archives, and go back often.

In time, I’ll probably use this blog to post history-related pictures from my travels over the years. Thank you for reading (and gazing)!
