in the annals of history

In the chronicle or account of history. The attack on the World Trade Center has gone down in the annals of history as one of the darkest days our country has faced. Presidents go down in the annals of history, while losing candidates are mere footnotes. She's acting like her blunder will go down in the annals of history or something! Like, I get that she's mortified by what happened, but it's really not a big deal in the scheme of things.
