Welcome to welcome to primetime weekend. I m rachel maddow. Let s get right to the week s top stories. The past 24 hours have been a microcosm of the race. Kamala harris and tim walz doing the standard campaign work for a major party candidate.

He cut a video blaming their deaths on democrats. Now, his campaign is openly doing battle wi

How have you been. We call ourselves partners in crime. That we are not going to talk about the crime part of it, just to the partner part. What has been interesting since ive been in the position of library of congress is the fact that people ask me what does the National Archives do. What does the archivist do a and then theres a confusion around the history and the role of each of the institutions, and ive learned a lot about that even in coming up to reclaim the declaration of independence, the bill of rights. We call it the constitution. And that was held by the library of congress and the type of thing. It wasnt until the 1930s the United States got serious about its records.

Sent it out to photographers at institutions to give it a try, to see if they could create a market for it. The pictures were free. So they were appealing to newspapers, magazines, publishing agencies, book publishers. That kind of thing. I was familiar already with the black and white photographs. There are about 171,000 Farm Security administration and office of war information blackandwhite photographs. And i had been working with those for a few years.

People did not want to pay that extra money. S
