BIG! Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the National Archives
To celebrate a big anniversary—our 75th—the National Archives presents this exhibition featuring big records, big events, and big ideas. A special highlight of the exhibition is the first printing of the Declaration of Independence, produced on the night of July 4-5, 1776—one of the greatest treasures in the holdings. "BIG!" opens in the Lawrence F. O'Brien gallery on March 13, 2009 and runs through January 3, 2010.
