U.S. National Archives

The National Archives at Atlanta hosted a special birthday celebration for Elvis! Guests viewed videos of the King, read original and scanned documents from the files of the National Archives, and enjoyed a slice of this humorous birthday cake.

If you missed the party of January 7, there’s lots of other events across the National Archives this February!
