Where now?

The tweet:

Always makes me laugh that there’s only two manuscript parchment copies of the US Declaration of Independence and they are located in:

1) the US National Archives

2) the archives of West Sussex County Council, where it was found by chance in 2015.

Following up on that, it’s true. There are lots of copies, but that’s the only other one on parchment. Most copies are 19th C, but they believe this one was about ten years after the original.

Back to work tomorrow after a fabulous four-day break. I am sad.
