Long before Scotch tape and lamination impeded the efforts of archivists and researchers to access unique information in a document, a whole world of fasteners existed to help hold documents together. In celebration of American Archives Month the Pieces of History blog hosted a series of posts on the history of the various fasteners and seals found in records at the National Archives.
A really interesting playbook that lives up to its promises of ethical conflict! I especially like the list about the different things that taxes might or might not actually be paying for.
We really wanted the “having to choose your morality” to be a core part of this playbook. It isn’t handed to you, hopefully, but takes active effort on the character’s part.

Thank you!
