| Blueprints from the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge ("Galloping Gertie") are being scanned | They are too delicate to circulate in their original form (The infamous Galloping Gertie collapsed in 1940) | |
 |
 |
 |
| The scanning is controlled from the computer across the room. | The Archives building has three floors underground.... | and all the floors are chock full of stuff as you can imagine. |

 |
| Interesting shelving for large ledgers | Very cold temperatures are maintained | |
