Happy Birthday, Ben Franklin!
January 17, 2006
300 years ago today Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston. Celebrate his genius (and humor) in this new web site for the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary. There’s an online exhibition, with excerpts from the exhibition that will be traveling across the country and to Paris. The Frankliniana Database is the first comprehensive collection of artifacts owned or otherwise connected to Franklin. On a design note, we styled the site as if it were printed by Franklin himself. In fact, the ornaments and borders we used were taken directly from Franklin’s own catalog.
