"Rare copy of US Declaration of Independence found by volunteer in UK archives"
The newly discovered copy is one of only 11 of its kind in the world.
Im summary, the document was on a ship, the Dalton, which was seized by the Royal Navy on Christmas Eve 1776. The Royal Navy captain listed it as "another paper", and it was just folded into storage along with his letters. Which everyone proceeded to ignore for 250 years.
What else is in those archives?

Dear early archeologists,
If you ever forget to record not just the contents of but every level in the tomb you emptied,
1. Apologize
2. Quit your job
3. Cry into your pillow
Please do not -
1. Freak out
2. Make everything up
3. Send it all to a historian so that a group of undergrads five decades later can prove you an imbecile
Just Historian Things: ...When you're watching Beforeigners, and discover you have a decent understanding of the unsubtitled bits when the vikings are talking.
Now I know why I learned Old Norse.
The actual face I make when anyone at all ever claims to be a "direct descendant" of Abraham Lincoln. Claim to be his many-a-great grandchild but don't know enough about him to know his family ended with Robert.
Historian problems:
I was surprised that one of my daughters didn’t know who Genghis Khan was, but I did have the materials on hand to show her.

Me, a nerd, showing people pictures of my new niece on my phone:
"Perfect baby Mia!"
*swipe*
"Isn't Mia adorable?!"
*swipe*
"Look at those chubby cheeks on Mia!"
*swipe*
"Oops, that's the 18th century Field Marshal I'm currently obsessed with"
*swipe*
"Mia sleeping on my sister!"
*swipe*
"Mia sleeping on her dad!"
*swipe*
"Uh, that's just a screenshot of a book I need to buy."
Etc, etc, etc, ad nauseam because this nerd is a proud new Auntie!
Considering a career in History? Read the following excerpt:
Halfin’s Foucauldian project is to reject a reading in which sociopolitical context is used to determine the "real" meaning of utterances. Rather, he argues, his aim is to "transcend ... reductive understandings of language" in order to show not what discourse conceals--that is, to impose a present sensibility on the historical record under the false pretence of objectivity--but to remain at the level of discourse itself in order to show "how it operates and with what consequences" (p. 30). Foucault himself did comment on the Soviet regime (although the question has been mooted as to whether his theory and methods are appropriate to apply to Soviet Russia), but this issue is not made a part of Halfin’s analysis.[4] Rather, he applies a Foucauldian model of discourse to argue that, in the broad sense, language is a "constitutive force" which "brings society into being" (p. 28)--and that in the Bolshevik milieu, so deeply and overtly steeped in ideology, linguistic discourse was the indispensable precursor to action. Thus, struggles were fought directly through language (p. 86). The institutions which waged these conflicts should then be understood as "embodied discursive formations" (p. 211) x
Did reading that make you irrationally angry? Did your eyes start to bleed at the sight of the phrase "Foucauldian project"? Then, sadly, the history department might not be right for you.
When you know someone, somewhere, is taking history out of context
