@LibraryofCT Yeah and still no one got the memo on why “trousers” worked better for transporting oneself via 🐎 and 🚲 😂

@MarblehdMuseum Bicycles created a whole new fashion for women!

What a wheely interesting 🚲! This one is circa 1880s. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesOnWheels

This volume takes them on a journey to historic sites around Massachusetts with a stop in #Marblehead! #ArchivesHashtagParty

Our last post is an interesting take on today’s #ArchivesOnWheels theme is the 📕 “The Bodley’s on Wheels” which is 1 of 8 volumes published between 1875 and 1884 about the fictional Bodley family.

@AIP_Library Museums can’t get on that level of marketing, that’s out of this 🌎 (sorry, couldn’t resists!).

When the object you're transporting is so big that it acts as an advertisement for itself: a telescope disc for the Palomar Observatory, traveling by rail car. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesOnWheels

@JFKLibrary @USNatArchives Like a smart car???

#ArchivesOnWheels is the perfect time to reshare the staRRcar, a proposed personal rapid transit system that would revolutionize inner- and intra-city traffic. More photos: jfklibrary.org/asset-viewer/a…

@chqarchives @chq Well pun! 👏

We're *throwing* this pottery wheel into the mix before things fall flat... But don't worry—we're not talking about #ArchivesOnWheels. Today's #ArchivesHashtagParty is far from finished! [Ceramics Instruction by James Schuff, @chq, 1955]

There’s a fascinating history behind this handtub and you can read it here: columbiagazette.com/citizen1a.html

This is a flatbed truck of Woodfin Paine Co. and it’s hauling the Citizen No. 1 handtub! c.1950

We have an interesting two for one #wheel image in our collection #ArchivesHashtagParty

@chqarchives @chq Talk about a traffic jam… 🚲🚲🚲

The #ArchivesOnWheels #ArchivesHashtagParty has only just begun, but we're already feeling overWHEELmed by wheels! [Bicycles at the Girls' Clubhouse, @chq, 1969]

@bham_museum That’s a good question and a great suggestion! 😂

@MarblehdMuseum Does the horse have a name? Can we name him Slinky McStinkbug?

Extra, extra! How is your news delivered today? In 1900, if you were to get a Boston Herald 🗞 , it would have been delivered by this wagon! Or at least one much like it. #ArchivesHashtagParty #ArchivesOnWheels
