Dear Reader,
It would be difficult
to use the special collection as a resource for my topic. If I were to have to
use it as a type of resource, I would probably look for diagrams of the theory I’m
working on. Maybe a book on the data and results could be found from the
specific person on my topic, but it would be difficult. I do think that I would
be able to use the special collections section with my other subject classes
such as History. I also think that I would have a better need for it than with I’m
working on at the moment. I can easily see myself using this kind of primary
resource to write a more solid-proofed essay on something like a historical essay.
It would allow me to use greatly detailed events, thus making a historical
essay more pronounced. What I believe makes the Special Collections important
is having the primary source in hand. There is no question as to the legitimacy
of the contents, and if there is it’s not tainted by perspectives after the specific
time frame. The idea of falsifying data, with the genuine object in hand, it is
a lot smaller if you have the genuine document. I also believe for people, it
is also more sentimental having the actual object in hand compared to a handy-down
object; the value and admiration is a lot greater knowing it is the original.
