Front Pages
I change the front page image for the White House Museum every month or so and archive the previous one. This page links to those archived front pages. I figure I will probably reuse these from time to time, so I wanted a kind of gallery for myself as well as for interested persons. I may even put previews on this page when I create new images in advance.
