An article published by DC Statehood Party founder Sam Smith. The graphic in and of itself is great for someone like me who has a tough time distilling down to a timeline.

An article by Jason I. Newman and Jacques B. DePuy, published in the Spring 1975 edition of the American University Law Reviewl (volume 24, number 3). It offers a legislative history of the District of Columbia, with references to specifically named laws and statutes; this is followed by a lengthy, in-depth, and rather dense analysis of the Home Rule Act of 1973.

Just saw someone say, in full seriousness, 'books and novels aren't historical records or materials'

...I got covered in an awful lot of leather-rot handling books (and novels, hello first-edition moby dick which i have touched with my own two hands) when I worked in an ARCHIVE, whose primary patrons of the reading-room were HISTORIANS there specifically to see, in many cases, BOOKS, for those materials to be, allegedly, '''''not historical records'''''

What, pray tell, do you consider an 'historical record' if not something recorded at the time?
