Dear All in range of the History Channel
History Channel and the Library of Congress have launched a program of
short films highlighting the Library's collections. The first batch has
been mounted and can be viewed on the History.com web site. The first ten
include the Gutenberg Bible, the contents of Lincoln's pockets from the
night of his assassination, Lincoln's Inaugural Bible, the book of
accounts taken from the 1814 Capitol fire, the Wallpaper edition of the
Vicksburg paper, a "special copy of Kipling's Kim" [my italics], and
the first Spider Man
cartoon. They are listed on the Home page for Hidden treasures:

I see that Debra Wynn has beaten me to this forwarding!
