Archivist's Note: -It is believed that all surviving audio recordings of the infamous 1889 Libertylurker interview with Frรฉdรฉric Auguste Bartholdi are fakes produced by American publicists at the turn of the twentieth century. Archaic spellings and other minor deviations in the French transcription can be attributed to these publicists. The deviations have been preserved to maintain the transcription's historical integrity. -While American publicists correctly capitalized "รtats-Unis" (United States) in their transcriptions of Libertylurker interviews, French writers often left the country in lowercase to subtly hint at their own anti-American sentiments. -Includes a newly restored clip from ST-LI 1.8084. Film damage is no longer visible.

Archivist's Note: -It remains a mystery how the Angel bypassed the anti-burglar doors of Air Force One. The doors' jagged sides and sophisticated lock mechanisms were designed to ensure that no slim jim would be effective. Peculiar distortions in the plastic doorway of the main entrance were attributed to the Angel. -Nearly all existing photographs and videos of the Angel were taken at stops Air Force One made during its flight. -Air Force One was successfully shot down when it re-entered the restricted airspace of Washington, D.C.

Archivist's Note: -Although primarily written by Virginia herself, the final draft of "Virginia in Wonderland" does contain words and phrases provided by her legal guardian for clarification. -Construction of the Rockefeller Center began in early 1930, when pre-existing buildings in the area were demolished to provide space. The Center's original Christmas tree, raised by its own construction workers, was first seen by J.D. Rockefeller toward the end of this period of demolitions. Inspired, Rockefeller handpicked three trees for the next three Christmases (1931, 1932, 1933). The Special Tree would make its first appearance at the Center on the fourth year (1934).

The modern-day borders of European countries are widely known. -In regards to Freedom's "metal eyelids," as mentioned in Nina Crawford's journal, it is believed that the child was unfamiliar with the term 'plaster' and instead named the most durable material she knew of: metal.
