The online database of the National Postal Museum, Arago™, was named in honor of the French physicist, astronomer and politician, François Arago (1786-1853). A friend of James Smithson (benefactor of the Smithsonian Institution), Arago believed that science and available technologies should be used to advance public knowledge and improve everyday life. Renowned as a scientist, he was also a humanitarian who used his political roles to introduce social reforms – the abolition of slavery, universal manhood suffrage, and the education of the lower classes – not only in France but also in its colonial possessions.

Exclusive and private Old Liquors Collection of 250 years old cognac, armagnac and other old liquors

A somewhat random (hence uncataloged) collection of thoughts about the work of museums (particularly history museums): what our work means to those of us who work in them, what our audiences might be thinking about, and the place that history museums occupy in today's culture.

The primary objective of this website is to preserve and display specimens of American package design from the early decades of the 20th Century. The secondary objective is to establish a community for those interested in such an endeavor.
