Today in History: Bird Is the Word Edition

May 4, 2007 by Matt Raymond

May 4 is for the birds. Literally. Today’s “TIH” discusses “Bird Day” and all things ornithological. I truly do learn something new every day here.

Today in History: Seal of Approval Edition

May 2, 2007 by Matt Raymond

Good Housekeeping is probably best known both as a magazine and for its famous “Seal.” Today’s “TIH” hearkens back to this day in 1885 when the magazine itself was first launched.

Today in History: Skyscraping Edition

May 1, 2007 by Matt Raymond

Lest the day slip completely away from me � and so as to keep my newfound “TIH” autodidacticism intact � I point to today’s edition remembering the day in 1931 when the lights first went on at that famous magnet for oversized apes, the Empire State Building. I’ve only been to the top once, but […]

Today in History: 'Manifest Embarrassment' Edition

April 30, 2007 by Matt Raymond

Did you know that America’s first president was also apparently one of the more reluctant to serve in office? Today’s “TIH” focuses on the Library’s vast collections regarding George Washington and his “manifest embarrassment” during his first inaugural address on April 30, 1789.

Today in History: Who's Buried in Grant's Tomb Edition

April 27, 2007 by Matt Raymond

Even though there isn?t much of ?today? left, I did want to continue with my daily peek at ?Today in History.?

Today in History: Park and Bard Edition

April 26, 2007 by Matt Raymond

Before I (happily) returned to D.C. last August, I lived in Manhattan for about a year and a half. Among my fondest memories there are the hours and days I spent in one of New York City’s great treasures, Central Park. To wit, a picture I took there after the record-setting snowfall of Feb. 12, […]

Today in History: Remember the Maine Edition

April 25, 2007 by Matt Raymond

If you’re like me, and you filed your federal taxes at the last minute only a couple of weeks ago, you might have been intrigued by an unusual option: a refund of between $30 to $60 to which you probably didn’t know you were entitled. The IRS, at the urging of Congress, is issuing what […]

Today in History: Happy Birthday to Us Edition

April 24, 2007 by Matt Raymond

I anticipate that one of my regular features will be to highlight or comment upon ? hopefully every day ? the Library?s ?Today in History? page. There are a lot of ?on this day? pages on the Web, but I?d wager that none of them benefits so directly from the combined resources and expertise of […]
