- A Thrilling Incident during Voting, 18th Ward, Philadelphia, Oct 11, 1864 - Voting in the 19th century was not a secret process, and intimidation was a common tactic on all sides. Because ballots were preprinted and listed only candidates from a single party, everyone knew who you voted for. This could result in "thrilling" disagreements at polling places, such as this scene from an 1864 election in Philadelphia.

- Bookplate for The Hannah E. Bigelow Fund, Marlborough Public Library, 1898 - Bookplates show ownership, but they can also tell us more. Often pasted on the inside of a book's front cover or endpaper, these printed labels contain the owner's name and sometimes the words "ex-libris" (Latin for "from the library of"). Coats of arms, crests, other decorative images, poems, mottoes, and even font type provide insight into the beliefs, passions, and interests of the book's owner.
