Document Highlights

Who knows why a particular document grabs our attention? Perhaps it gives us an unexpected glimpse into an historical situation or perhaps it merely confirms what we always assumed was going on in the past but never expected to find recorded in black and white.

The essays below were published in The Florentine. To read earlier document highlights, visit the full Document Highlights Archive.
