Kerri and I were discussing a book she likes, "A Slave in the White House", that was based on newly discovered historical documents. I mentioned that I spend a lot of time (too much time) at two different sites that feature historical documents:
- The National Archives site Our Documents features hi-res images of our most important documents.
- The National Security Archive at The George Washington University has a trove of fascinating documents related to our U.S. intelligence, foreign policy, Elvis and once-hidden government secrets.
