I became interested in the ARC in October 2017, after the first two major record releases at NARA. News coverage of the releases was confused and contradictory, so I began to look at the Collection myself.

My first posts on the ARC were at my regular blog, (rgr-cyt.org) where I usually write about things my students might find interesting. After 40-50 posts there, I decided to set up another site, focused on the ARC.

This site began in December 2019. The earliest posts are my old notes, edited for consistency and accuracy. At the top of these is the date they were first put up and a link to the original posting. Everything since January 2020 is new content.
