A signature can be as routine as a mark on a form or as extraordinary as a stroke of the pen that changes the course of history. It can save lives or end them. This sweeping exhibit ranges from an “X” signed by an illiterate slave, to a real “John Hancock,” to the mark of an auto pen. Making Their Mark features original signatures from National Archives holdings nationwide –including those from sports, politics, fashion and entertainment – and the stories behind them.
Making Their Mark invites visitors to share how they’ve “made their mark” through posts on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #signature.
WHO:
* David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States
* A'Lelia Bundles, Foundation for the National Archives Chair
* Lawrence F. O'Brien III, Foundation for the National Archives
* Jennifer Johnson, exhibition curator

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
