Authentic Government Red Tape Flag
A Salute to our Patriotic Heritage!
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the National Archives, we are releasing a brand new product featuring our authentic government “red tape”:
An American Flag
A perfect addition to any office or proudly displayed in your home, this rendition of our flag has seven pieces of authentic Government “red tape” imbedded.
The term “cutting through the red tape”, a term often used to describe the bureaucracy of government is based the fact that many of our United States documents were once bound with twill tape that had to be “cut through” to gain access.
The tape used in this patriotic product originated from archival documents, some as old as the Civil War, which are held at the National Archives in Washington D.C. Each one is assembled by hand and due to the age of the red tape, pigmentation may vary ensuring that no two flags are exactly the same.
Each flag comes boxed with a packet of non-skid feet, cleaning instructions, and an information card.
Tape has been color enhanced for aesthetic purposes.
Dimensions – 3 1/8” x 4 1/2” x 1”

Discovering The Civil War
Discovering the Civil War peels back 150 years of accumulated analysis, interpretation, and opinion to reveal a Civil War that is little-known. Featuring over 250 letters, diaries, photos, maps, petitions, receipts, patents, amendments and proclamations from the incomparable holdings of the National Archives, it takes a fresh look at the Civil War through little-known stories, seldom-seen documents, and unusual perspectives. Grouped into themes such as "Spies and Conspiracies," "Prisoners and Casualties," "Global War," and "Raising Armies," this new book looks beyond the battlefield to the experiences of ordinary people. Famous documents, such as the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, are juxtaposed with innovative wartime patents, including a multipurpose device that could serve as a tent, knapsack, or blanket, and a message in Chinese script asking for Confederate ships to be barred from Chinese ports - proving that the Civil War became a truly international struggle.
A generously illustrated book commemorating the 150th anniversary of the outbreak of the Civil War. Foreword by leading documentary filmmaker, Ken Burns, creator of the award-winning film The Civil War. Accompanies a major exhibition showing at the National Archives Building, Washington, DC, through April 2011, before beginning a multi-city national tour in 2011.
208 pages, hardcover, ISBN 978-1-904832-91-1
The March by E.L. Doctorow
Comes with an autographed bookplate.
This unique book “stunningly renders the countless lives swept up in the violence of a county at war with itself. The great march in E.L. Doctorow’s hands becomes something more-a floating world, a nomadic consciousness, and an unforgettable reading experience with awesome relevance to our own times.”
Praise for the Author:
"A ferocious feat of the imagination…Every scene is perfectly realized and feeds into the whole-the themes and symbols echoing and reverberating.” --Newsweek, about the Book of Daniel
“E.L. Doctorow is a national treasure.” --St. Louis Post-Dispatch
