While today is #MayDay , did you know it was also Child Health Day? Starting in the 1920s, May 1 was recognized as Child Health Day as a way to bring awareness to the health, wellness, and safety of children. Here's First Lady Lou Henry Hoover with children before a 1931 ceremony.

Conservation staff removed this tape using a warm air tool to soften the adhesive. The tool allows the warm air to be precisely targeted at the tape. The tears in the document under the tape will be carefully realigned and mended. #TapeIsEvil #PreservationMonth
