Alex and Caitlin are just a couple of fun-loving gals earning a living chasing down the pages of history in the age of Sky-Net. Bonded by a shared pizza addiction, a subscription to Leslie Knope-style feminism, and a deep and abiding love for Harrison Ford sci-fi/fantasy and Alex Trebek; these Historic Preservation majors have parlayed their desire to work with the past into a career in archival research. We spend our days at the National Archives in Washington, DC mining for history gold!
