"Stealing History" : a 60 minutes video clip

Good afternoon all,

Normally I don't watch "60 minutes," but somehow I randomly caught this on Sunday night and thought I would share with you all.

 

It's a 14 minute segment titled "Stealing History" that focuses on the theft of archival documents and other historical artifacts primarily by Barry Landau from the National Archives. However, it also mentions several historical societies and other archives that have been targeted by thieves. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50148120n

 

As an archivist, this is just another stark reminder that we need to be aware of our patrons and what they are doing once we give them access to our documents. It is also a sad reminder that thefts in libraries and achives do happen.

baby deer stuck in our backyard...

came back from a week vacation to find this little on in our yard! We think his mom birthed him in the yard and then we came home, she hopped the fence but the baby could not. We had to corral the baby dear out the gates which took a little time but finally the baby got out and back with mom in the woods by our house :)
