listen, if my bibliography isnt 50 pages long, then I am unworthy of love, I only have, like, 10 months until state, so if i don't DOMINATE, then im going to be so sad. There was a kid at nationals with a 52 page bibliography, I now need to beat him

October 29th is National Cat Day! Keeping up with highlighting some of the absurd, odd, and strange cuts from our print shop exhibit this month, Howard letterpress printed an electrotype (copy of a woodcut) made about 125-130 years ago from the Lewis Winter Collection.

Like this item printed, there are other cuts made by Lewis Winter in the collection that depict animals doing out of the ordinary activities. In this case, it’s a cat riding a bicycle. This was printed with blue rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

This was written in May 2019 and shares my thoughts on judging for the National History Day competition. It was the last contest I did in-person, with 2021 and 2022 done virtually, and only this year has it gone back to being in-person.

Veterans Day originally began as Armistice Day, which celebrated the end of World War I. After World War II, the day was expanded “Veterans Day” to honor all veterans, not just the service members who died during the First World War.

At the National Archives, we are proud to serve veterans through our work at the National Personnel Records Center. Veterans who need their service records for benefits can find help here.

Families of veterans who have died may also ask for copies of service records for family history, military burial, and medal replacement.

It’s National Dog Day, so say “hello” to the dingo (Canis familiaris dingo)! This good boy can be found throughout Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. In Australia, the dingo has adapted to various environments, from mountainous areas to deserts to tropical forests. It hunts opportunistically, in groups when taking on larger targets, like kangaroos, or alone for smaller prey like rabbits. Rather than barking, it communicates through wolf-like howls.

ok, so, they announced next years NHD theme lol, its rights and responsibilities in history, which is lowkey boring im ngl, but I found a way to make it great. I have spent the last couple days since i got back from nationals absolutely obbsessing over what my topic is gonna be next year, and I've found it, its gonna be about Aethelflaed, lady of the Mercians from 911-918, she was so badass and was the only recorded anglo saxon queen to rule in her own right after the passing of her husband aethelred, lord of the mercians. I'm gonna do an individual performance again because its for the lolz and its what im good at, so this is gonna be my word vomit into the void process, day 1 of the next year begins!

Do you like this print? Yay or neigh? December 13 is National Horse Day!

For today, Jared letterpress printed an image from an over 125 year old electrotype (copy of a woodcut) from the Lewis Winter Collection. This cut depicts a horse’s head and bridle. You can faintly see “L. Winter” engraved at the bottom of the print. This cut is unmounted so it had to be placed on a block of wood to make it type high in order to print. This was printed with red pepper oil base ink using our Washington hand press.
