Apologies that our Document of the Month feature has been irregular in recent months. This March we want to shine the spotline on our newest oldest document!

Well to be accurate, it is our oldest dated & catalogued document. We are pretty sure that this one is about a decade older. Also we would be untrustworthy archivists if we shone spotlights on fragile paper, unless they are nice and gentle ones.

However, a 118 year old Freedom did indeed raise delighted eyebrows when it emerged out of yet another box of miscellanious materials. So our Document of the Month for March 2020 is:

Freedom Vol:16(XVI) #164 (1902)
