National Archives' Charters of Freedom as viral images

The National Archives houses the Charters of Freedom - the original Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights - on public display in its Rotunda. High-resolution photographs and video clips of these documents are routinely reproduced and widely shared online around Independence Day, Constitution Day, and major civic discussions. The Rotunda and its crowds of visitors are frequent subjects of viral journalism pieces and social-media posts about American founding documents.
