The content within tumblelogs is meant to be brief and to the point. It is a great platform for sharing visually appealing content, such as documents and photos, from our holdings. With a large community already on Tumblr, users can easily share and re-post content to followers and watch the message spread! Staff members at Tumblr have created the “Spotlight,” a dedicated page within Tumblr that features some of the most interesting tumblelogs in a variety of categories. Tumblelogs featured in the Spotlight are chosen by Tumblr staff members as a way to draw attention to the most creative and innovative content. Searching through the Spotlight is a great way for users to find new tumblelogs to follow. Currently, AOTUS, Today’s Document, and Our Presidents have been featured in the Spotlight!
