We Remembered the January 6 Capitol Attack
On January 6, 2021, millions of Americans watched in horror as a mob consisting of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building to disrupt the counting of electoral votes and protest the assumed win of Joseph R. Biden Jr. A year later, our nation still feels the effects of this catastrophic event, which led to the deaths of five people, not including the two officers who later died by suicide following the riot. Our blog post dives into what happened and related material in HeinOnline.
We Expanded Our Oxford University Press Journal Content
Due to an updated agreement with the publisher, 13 of Oxford’s journals are now behind a shortened, three-year embargo, bringing nearly 20 years of new content into HeinOnline’s Law Journal Library! Check out the blog post to read about the now-available content.
We Uncovered Another Secret of the Serial Set
It was the season for gift-giving, so it was only fitting that December’s Secrets of the Serial Set post uncovered the story behind one of the most famous gifts ever given to the United States of America: the Statue of Liberty. Learn all about it with our latest blog post in this series, where we unveil the wealth of American history found in the United States Congressional Serial Set.
We Investigated Another Crime of the Century
The twentieth century had just begun, but the press would quickly christen the bombing of the Los Angeles Times building the “crime of the century.” Join us as we delve into the story and its context in American history in this blog post.
