At Hamilton more than 230,000 maps and historical photos, about 100

Archives' Magical History Tour
'Public Vaults' Exhibit Opens
By Jacqueline Trescott
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, November 12, 2004; Page A01

around its rotunda was an almost mystical experience for generations of
visitors who peered at the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, trying to discern the signatures.
