We’re sorry, but we will not be able to post updates to our social media channels during the government shutdown. All National Archives events–virtual or in person–are canceled until further notice. We will be unable to reply to messages or emails until the government reopens.

Shirley will surely be missed. But Ben was squirrely so we put him out early. Stop by the visitor center and get a selfie with Benjamin Franklin. And learn more about our "Signature Moments" exhibit next door in the Museum: fdrlibrary.org/exhibitions #fdrsignaturemoments #america250
