While we were in Springfield, we were so fortunate to tour the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum @ALPLM with Lincoln Historian (& 🇨🇦) Dr. Christian McWhirter. It was amazing to hear from such an expert on the President, the Civil War and the leadup to Emancipation & abolition.
Pendant que nous étions à Springfield, nous avons eu la chance de visiter le musée @ALPLM avec l'historien (et 🇨🇦) le Dr Christian McWhirter. C'était incroyable d'entendre un tel expert sur le président, la guerre civile et les préludes à l'émancipation et à l'abolition.
It was great to meet so many great #UISedu alumni tonight at the @UofILSystem’s Alumni in Government reception. The event at the @ALPLM celebrated alumni working in government and government relations.
Hey, that’s my man!
Dave Taylor, an expert on #AbrahamLincoln's assassination, spoke to us recently about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth. Here’s a highlight where he discusses whether Booth broke his leg at Ford’s Theatre, as generally believed, or sometime later during the escape.
@ALPLM This is not where I found it (it's been a while) but a far better image of it, "Britania Sympathises With Columbia" is on the Ford's Theatre website. Here's the link to that. rememberinglincoln.fords.org/node/293

These laughing boys had an #ArchivesSnapshot of pure joy. #ArchivesHashtagParty @USNatArchives If you look closely, you'll see the punch line of their joke—when one boy had his shoes on the wrong feet, and the other two swapped one shoe each, c. 1915.
Even though no one is present in this #ArchivesSnapshot, the otherworldliness of @BadlandsNPS means every shot taken there grabs your attention! This 1938 shot was taken by Bureau of Public Roads staff while working a few miles south of where the Pinnacles park entrance is today.
The Hoovers had collections of scrapbooks and photographs from their personal lives, so we will share some of our favorites! Here's Grandma Henry with Herbert Hoover Jr. in January 1904. This photo was taken in Monterey, CA. (31-al39-15) #ArchivesSnapshot #ArchivesHashtagParty
A Revolutionary #ArchivesSnapshot 📸 Many veterans of the American Revolution who lived into the age of photography can be seen in the Museum's final gallery. The last known Revolutionary War veterans died shortly after the Civil War, still many had their photograph taken.
We are loving today's #ArchivesSnapshot glimpses of history! Ever wondered how old film is cared for and repaired? Our friends in the @USNatArchives Preservation Lab have a fascinating post on preserving @TrumanLibrary Screen Gems: unwritten-record.blogs.archives.gov/2012/08/03/get
This remarkable photograph shows the then-oldest living ex-enslaved individual, Mrs. Sally Fickland, viewing the Emancipation Proclamation in the Freedom Train at Philadelphia, on September 17, 1947. #ArchivesSnapshot
