LIBERTYLURKER
Archivist's Note: -It is believed that all surviving audio recordings of the infamous 1889 Libertylurker interview with Frédéric 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 "États-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.
RUSHMOREREVENGE
Archivist's Note: -Perpetrators of the Rushmore Revenge incident remain at large.
ALCATRAZATTACK
Archivist's Note: -The 2003 Alcatraz Attack continues to baffle the scientific community.
DEANDEMOCRACY
Archivist's Note: -Excerpt from the 2002 documentary "DEANDEMOCRACY: A Look Back at America's 37th President."
AIRFORCEONEANGEL
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.
LINCOLNLOOKER
Archivist's Note: -(None)
WASHINGTONWORMHOLE
Archivist's Note: -Footage from the 2003 event may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. -Includes a newly restored clip from Washington Standard Operation. Film damage is no longer visible. -The 20th Washington Absentee has been identified.
DELAWAREDOUBLE
Archivist's Note: -Partially restored.
ROCKEFELLERTREETRAGEDY
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).
CANYONCROWN
Archivist's Note: -Two cameras were used during the Arnoldsons' trip: a professional photography camera and a one-time-use video camcorder. The inexpensive camcorder produced low-quality clips, which were further degraded by the stabilization effects added with Maize Movie Maker.
FREEDOMFALLER
Archivist's Note: -To minimize geographical disorientation, the Monarca's route was simulated with a contemporary map from our timeline. 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.
