A forgotten “copy” of Magna Carta, bought for $27.50 in 1946, was authenticated as a 1300 original—one of only eight known. Found in Harvard Law’s digital archive, it’s a powerful reminder of the treasures waiting in collections. #MuseumArchives #MagnaCarta #CollectionsMatter

Finally, a special shout out to all the museums that loaned specimens used in this study: @bellmuseum.bsky.social, Etnier Ichthyological Collection at UT Knoxville, Field Museum, Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Yale Peabody Museum. Now more than ever, #MuseumsMatter #CollectionsMatter

This was a seriously fun case of #NaturalHistoryBycatch from #diceCT data. Very cool to work on a #specimen collected in the 1970's that had these data hidden inside. Just another example of why #CollectionsMatter!
