Re: erasure at historical sites, national parks, etc. in the United States:
Reading this article about the removal of a slavery-related exhibit at one of the historic sites in Philly - at the house where George and Martha Washington trafficked in people they enslaved... and it has me thinking...
I wonder how hard it would be to take the old exhibit text that is removed, create a zine/brochure out of it, and just literally start handing out materials on the street outside of modified sites.
I know there are programs to save the original texts of exhibits/sites. Does anyone know if there are any programs working to provide that text on the ground, near the exhibits themselves?
Please share if you have any leads, and feel free to boost.

Walk through the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs with American Museum of Natural History’s new ‘Impact’ exhibit – Space
Walk through the asteroid strike that killed the dinosaurs with American Museum of Natural History’s new ‘Impact’ exhibit
By Joanna Thompson published 19 hours ago
“It sounds like science fiction or the stuff of Hollywood movies.”
A 6-minute immersive panoramic video experience in ‘Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs.’ (Image credit: Alvaro Keding and Daniel Kim / © AMNH).NEW YORK — The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City has opened a new exhibition that takes a multidisciplinary perspective on the asteroid strike that ended the Cretaceous period and killed all the non-avian dinosaurs. The exhibit — aptly called “Impact” — chronicles what was, in the words of AMNH curator of paleontology Roger Benson, Earth’s “worst day of the last half-billion years.”
One spring day 66 million years ago, a rock from outer space slammed into what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. The meteor was roughly the size of Mount Everest, and it struck with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs. Nearby forests instantly incinerated as atmospheric temperatures briefly soared to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Many animals, including large dinosaurs, were buried in ash — though some were able to escape by digging underground or diving underwater.
The tremendous impact also flung a mushroom cloud of ash and dust into the atmosphere, eventually shrouding the planet in a cold gloom. Tiny glass beads rained down as far away as Wyoming. At the same time, the impact triggered landslides, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.

Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian Is Creating a Digital Archive of Exhibits – School Library Journal
Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian Is Creating a Digital Archive of Exhibits
by Kara Yorio, Oct 03, 2025 | Filed in News & Features
The all-volunteer initiative is documenting exhibits at the more than 20 Smithsonian Institution museums and the National Zoo in response to the Trump administration’s announcement that museums’ contents would be subject to review and revision to align with the president’s directive.
When retired Virginia school librarian Mary Anne O’Rourke learned about a project to digitally archive the Smithsonian Institution museums, she immediately wanted to volunteer.
“I spent my career teaching children how to research and look up facts, how to know facts from distortions, and what were good sources? The Smithsonian has been our greatest source,” says O’Rourke, who was a preK–8 librarian for 11 years after being a classroom teacher and working at the Smithsonian Visitor Information Center.
Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian is an all-volunteer effort to document everything on display at the Smithsonian’s 21 museums, the National Zoo, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Volunteers take photos and videos of exhibits in this crowdsourced archiving endeavor. Organizers call it “Crowd to Cloud” and plan to make the information accessible to the media and public.The initiative is a response to an August letter sent by the Trump administration to the Smithsonian Institution secretary stating that exhibits were subject to review and revision in an effort to “reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story.” The letter went on to say it was an effort to “ensure alignment with the President’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives.”
After learning of the administration’s intentions, Georgetown University history professors Chandra Manning and James A. Millward wanted to take action. Inspired by Save Our Signs—which seeks to document signs and information at National Parks that may be removed by the administration—Manning and Millward sent an email to the university’s history department saying they wanted to find a way to document the Smithsonian exhibits. Upon receiving the email, Jessica Dickinson Goodman, a graduate research assistant at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, immediately proposed possible ways of achieving the goal and offered to help coordinate. Not only is the dual master’s student pursuing a degree in Global, International, and Comparative History, the Smithsonian also holds a special place in her personal history.
“When I was in college, my partner and I were long distance, and we would meet up every other weekend in D.C. and go to the Smithsonian,” Dickinson Goodman says. “They are very personal to me. They’re a big part of my sense of my country, and my sense of my field, and my sense of pride in what it means to be an American—that we can produce these amazing free institutions to the public and to the world. And these institutions hold within them a huge amount of human wisdom and American and world experience that deserve to be accessible.”

#Exploratorium was a fun trip today. It’s been since before #COVID that we visited. I’m glad we did the 10-12 members only time, since it got super crowded after lunch. NO masks. Yuk. And we were tired by then so we didn’t stay much longer. Good outing.
Son was much more #focused on #exhibits and #dwelled on many. He’s getting into #biology so we spent more time in that area. Will definitely be back again.
#BART was a ghost town! And people masked. That was nice.
