The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is getting into GIFs. The agency in charge of preserving the nation's most significant documents, images, and video, has started a new channel on Giphy, and is filling it with a mix curious and historical content. So far, NARA has only uploaded around 150 GIFs, but the channel will be updated continually. You can check out some of our favorite picks so far below:
