Note that @archives_gov, which posts tweets based on the RSS feed for NARA's "Document of the Day" is not sponsored by the National Archives & Records Administration. No one seems to know who is behind it, but it's a great idea.


Tweeting diary entries, etc.:

- Genny Spencer (@Genny-Spencer) (personal, not an archives)
- John Quincy Adams (@JQAdams_MHS) (line-a-day diary entries of John Quincy Adams, beginning with his journey to Russia on 5 August 1809. A project of the Massachusetts Historical Society)
- The Orwell Prize (@TheOrwellPrize (tweets selections from The Orwell Diaries--see Orwell Diaries blog)
- The Redford Diaries (@Redford Diaries) (sponsored by the University of Texas at San Antonio) -
- Captain Robert Falcon Scott's 1910-1912 Antarctic expedition diary (@scottslastexp) (sponsored by the Scott Polar Research Institute)
- @UKWarCabinet sponsored by The National Archives (UK): "Watch WWII unfold day by day through original Cabinet Papers from 1940 held at The National Archives."
- UTSA Yesterday (@UTSAYesterday) (tweets from press releases and photo collections in the University Archives at University of Texas at San Antonio)
- The Edwardian Postcard project is tweeting messages from postcards, between 1901 and 1910. Follow @eVIIpc


Innovative and creative uses of Twitter:

- @Kennedy1960 - Beginning 1/2/10, follow JFK on the campaign trail - 50 years later - via schedules culled from the JFK Library's archive.
@AskJoanofArt - Tweets questions sent to the Smithsonian's Museum of American Art (note--they don't tweet the answers, which I think is a bit of drawback, but it's an interesting idea)
- @Schaghenletter - Tweets from the point of view of a document traveling to New York from the Netherlands for an exhibition.
- @tenementmuseum - Tweets from the point of view of a building (the Tenement Museum)--a personal favorite of mine
- @wsadocuments - Tweets records being pulled for researchers at the Wiltshire and Swindon Archives
-@historicalhtown - Tweets from the "Historical Hamilton" group, amateur historians interested in documenting the history of Hamilton, Ontario
unique fundraising: http://burnstwitter.wordpress.com/
- Tweeting History (or TwHistory) - is a collaborative volunteer effort that combines tweets from multiple historical "characters" to recreate a timeline of a historical event. Their current project is "Pioneer Trek" (The 1847 journey of the Mormon pioneers). Their previous project was "The Road to Gettysburg"
- @bfffranklin - "Mr. Franklin has agreed to tweet his life story for us, but he is channeled through a 13 year-old Minnesota Historical Society volunteer. Help us translate."
