My friendsthink I’m a historian,
but in reality I’m atime traveler.

I get to spend mydays at The Huntington
searching for clues about how people lived in
the past.

Sometimes that means reading
old books...

but it usually means reading letters and diaries from a time when people
did all their writing by HAND on PAPER with
a FEATHER PEN!
