Treasures and Valentines

Yesterday, February 10, there was an open house at the Archives Center, NMAH. One of the staff created a display for Valentine's Day. There were approximately 70 items on display from various 19th and 20th greeting card collections in the Center. Over 100 visitors came through. Treasures at the Museum also was on display outside the Center. I was able to introduce visitors to both the book and the Center. We made sales and had a crowd. What a fun afternoon! Archives Center, NMAH Smithsonian Institution
