Having already finished ¾ of my tenure at the Pennsylvania State Archives as a Scholar-in-Residence, I’d like to give a short update on how I’ve spent the time and what I’ve found.
First, a nod to the Archives itself, which now has a brand-new home, a striking structure modern in design and construction, in a neighborhood almost a mile from the old archives which is ripe for revitalization. And with it perhaps a month or more away from being reopened to the public, I feel extra privileged for being able to conduct my research in a beautiful facility few if any non-staff have seen from the inside.
