The pyramid atop the Los Angeles Pubic Library (1977)

To share his longtime interest in the Great Seal, John D. MacArthur began GreatSeal.com in 1998. The site now has more than 100 pages and 300 images. In October 2004, John was invited to give a slide show presentation about the Great Seal during the 300th anniversary of Harriton House, home of Charles Thomson, principal designer of the Great Seal. In May 2017, John was interviewed about the Great Seal for a BBC documentary filmed at Thomson's home in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Watch the trailer of The Man Who Told the Truth.

"The website www.GreatSeal.com, authored by John D. MacArthur
offers a thorough and interesting telling of the history of the seal." – Jon Meacham

John D. MacArthur is not the fundamentalist John Fullerton MacArthur (1939 - 2025),
nor connected with philanthropist John Donald MacArthur (1897-1978).
