I really enjoyed this. I did not really know where it was going at first but it got really interesting. My daughter is in school to become an Archivist so it really started to get my attention as I went further into it. I do have to say in the beginning of the post, I was thinking it was going to end up being about pork and politics and in a sense that is how it ended. I loved this so much ... "While I am dedicated to this search, I am not about to fly down to Kansas City to dig through federal archives, especially when those documents may or may not be there... ...just kidding. Of course I flew down to Kansas City to dig through the federal archives" Thanks for creating this

  I thought of these as well while reading the article as they convey the fun aspects of archival visits well (I’ve done a bit of my own and really enjoyed the random “side quest” things you discover along the way). If anyone else has recommendations for things like these (text or video) then I would love to see more!
