Since the Kentucky Derby is only two weeks away, it’s only fitting that the top choice in April’s Archives Treasures online poll won going away after a battle on the backstretch. After rushing out of the gate to a strong early lead, the collection of 1960s P.E. photos saw its two competitors, the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge drawings and territorial census rolls, close the gap as the poll neared the finish line Friday afternoon. But a late flurry of votes just before the poll closed helped give the classic P.E. photo collection a comfortable victory, as it received 41 percent of the votes. The Narrows Bridge drawings took second (30 percent), followed by the territorial census rolls (29 percent). Next we’ll have our April edition of State Library Jewels at the starting gate, so be ready.Image
