Internet Archive has added two new search features that will make it easier to find what you need in their archives. The first is called faceted filtering and it adds a number of checkboxes to your search to help you narrow the search by media types, topics and collections. The other is full-text search. When you check that option, the search feature will not only search the archive’s index but also the text within. Learn more at the Internet Archive Blog.
A military memorial honoring family veterans.
Don’t forget that Friday is Veterans Day. This is the day we celebrate the men and women who have served and are serving our country as members of our armed forces. Memorials such as this are a great way to honor family members who served. This one celebrates a father who served in World War II and a grandfather who served in World War I. The flag draped the father’s coffin at his funeral.
