It's climate controlled there to preserve the documents! :big_grin:

There actually can be quite a bit of dust and dirt on the documents; the gloves start out white but by an hour or two's work there's a definite tinge of brown to them. I use the regular cotton -issued gloves, but Ron Smith use to use the latex gloves for better "grip" when dealing with mylar, etc..

Today was Seattle NARA's extended hours, so I was there for my usual session. This time, though, I had a GoPro Camera set on time-lapse and shot about two and a half hours of research.

I sped it up to two and a half minutes long for those who are at least mildly interested but don't want to pass out from boredom. :big_grin:

So if you've ever wondered what NARA research looks like and what goes into my site, check out the following link:
