National Archive + Social Media

So I discovered that the US National Archive has a fun feature on their website called Today's Document.  They showcase something significant to the calendar date from the archive holdings.  They even have a mobile app for it!

Sadly, I have not yet figured out how to view/retrieve my favorite documents as catalogued in my app on my regular computer screen.  A data storage issue (tracking account info?), a developmental oversight (too much of a hassle?)  ... I can't figure it out. I still want to see if it's possible, and I haven't given up yet... I wnder if they'll accept this idea as a suggestion/ improvement or if I'm the only dork who think that would be a neat thing to be able to do?

Kudos to the Archive for a great PR trick though!
