Written by Alice Kamps, Curator at the National Archives, the book describes the dramatic events that culminated in these historic documents, the materials and techniques used in their creation and conservation, and their adventures on the road to a permanent safe haven at the National Archives. The book includes the travel history of the documents and how they came to rest in the National Archives Rotunda, the preservation work performed by conservators at the Archives, a brief history of the National Archives building and its construction, and complete transcripts of all three documents. Beautifully illustrated with photographs, documents, and paintings, The Charters of Freedom at the National Archives is a perfect overview of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and the Bill of Rights for the whole family. This publication is made possible by the National Archives Foundation with the generous support of the Weissberg Foundation.
