Senior Book Conservator Jana Dambrogio made this model to show how the Dunlap Broadside originally attached into the Rough Journal, Volume 3, of the Continental Congress. The Broadside, printed by John Dunlap, was attached into the volume at the fourth of July, 1776 entry to give the text which declares our Independence from England. Happy Fourth of July!　

The place where I work has one of the Dunlop broadsides on display this summer. Come see it!
