Today is #NationalGeologistsDay , and we're celebrating with the 'doctor of sick mines': Herbert Hoover! Our Museum collection includes this gold ore from the Kalgoorlie Mine in Australia. If you're wondering how old this is, Hoover acquired this prior to World War I! (76.12.1)

As we wrap this month's #ArchivesHashtagParty , we'll share how some of the photos in our collection still have their negatives to go with them! Here's Herbert Hoover with Flora Whiting and daughter-in-law Margaret Hoover in Craig, FL! Quite the #ArchivesSnapshot , if you asked us!

In some cases, we still have the film that captured the #ArchivesSnapshot moment! These photos of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum were taken as part of a multi-school project prior to the Museum's expansion and renovation in 1992! #ArchivesHashtagParty

As part of the #ArchivesHashtagParty , staff at their library took their shot at #ArchivesSnapshot , sharing their favorite spots in the Museum. There are plenty of places for you to visit and get a photo opportunity, too!

Before the days of digital cameras and smartphones, not all pictures were perfect. Here's a great example as Lou and Herbert Hoover Jr. pose on a bench in 1906. While half of Lou's head is out of frame, the Hoovers still saved this memory! #ArchivesSnapshot #ArchivesHashtagParty
