The Smithsonian is also very helpful if you want a photo of some document they haven’t digitized yet. Pay a tiny fee, wait a bit, and they’ll scan in whatever !! Super cool of them
Got some original design drawings of the first oil rigs ever built which added a lot to a roleplaying game I was running

It's unfortunate that I have interacted with real humans (face-to-face) who sound like that, long before AI existed.
