WASHINGTON (AP) — An eclectic mix of some of the most cherished autographs in history — including those of George Washington and Michael Jackson — will be on display to showcase what curators say is the dying art of the signature.

The “Marking the Mark” exhibit opening Friday at the National Archives includes more than 100 original signatures by the famous and infamous and is the result of a wide search by curators for signatures representing important names and events in history.
