Small Finds





During my dissertation days, I had a friend, who was conducting research in the National Archives on 1930s Public Housing. She read through lots of government documents held together by a variety of fasteners. She commented once that someone should research the evolution of paper clips, staples, and the like. I found this doozy at Moravian. It took a nail file to remove, and we did so without damaging the document.
