Ex-curator charged in thefts<

A curator entrusted with the care of a trove of historic treasures stole hundreds of documents and photographs - some dating back centuries - and sold them at auction on eBay, federal authorities said yesterday.

Shawn Aubitz, a former archivist and curator for the National Archives' Philadelphia vaults, was charged yesterday with allegedly selling items that included presidential pardons signed by Abraham Lincoln and a collection of photographs taken in space by U.S. astronauts.
