Mr. Wolenski is quite right; nothing on a screen can compare to cradling a nicely worn text in your hands!

It can be so difficult to toe the line where sources are concerned. I wish I could even find 1100 sources for my Franklin Arctic Expedition research!

Thanks for sharing this great post!

You’ve got to know when to call it quits.

Best wishes,

One factor that might make the above scenario more likely is if other federal/state/
local archival repositories fall prey to the same fiscal mismanagement that has plagued us here in Georgia. A lot has been made of the fact that, should nothing change between now and November 1st, the Peach State will be the only one in the Union without public access to it’s archives. I hope the damage is limited to here, but what if this is merely the first break in the proverbial Johnstown dam? Should other state archives end up being closed for lack of funding, we could very well face a future where the ONLY research that can be done is online.

I also find it difficult to understand how a person could prefer staring at a screen to holding an actual book and turning the pages to read. Must be old I suppose……
