Don't forget: when you take pictures of the documents, books, prints, etc., always have the flash off, and use the ruler that says "this image is for research purposes only".
Nina DFebruary 3, 2012They have a locket of George Washington's hair here, among other AWESOME historical artifacts. Like a mini museum off the beaten path. You must visit.- When looking at really large books, use the weighted string to keep the "this image is for research purposes only" ruler from sliding down the page!
