<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 3450896, member: 92556&quot;]Hi JeffB. Thanks for your personal impressions of the Documents which included the Declaration, and also the Magna Carta, normally kept in Britain. I wouldn&#039;t doubt, as you say, that sun and flash photography are now kept away. The keyword is &quot;now&quot;, and, as I referred to in an earlier message, they took &quot;35 years of exposure to sunlight opposite a window in the Patent Office Building. Today, it is sealed in the most scientifically advanced housing that preservation technology can provide.&quot; And I understand that the National Archives Museum enforces it&#039;s rules quite stringently - as one might expect. - I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll ever get to the States again. But if I do, I expect that Washington D.C., with it&#039;s national treasures, would be top of the list to see ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
