A list of puns related to "Historical Museum Of Bern"
Help! I've been mistaken for a real historian instead of a hobbyist.
Okay, not really - but I am heading to a museum's archives to look for primary source documents. I cold-called the museum, spoke to the front desk and they referred me to a curator. She was incredibly helpful and we discussed the materials I was hoping to find. After narrowing down the specific collection I was hoping to view, we've scheduled a time for me to come in after the holidays.
It's been years since I had to do a research paper for school, but I've recently started a passion project researching some local history. While I'm blessed to have a fabulous local library system and I'm familiar with ILL and e-catalogs for other resources, I have never used this kind of resource before.
How can I make the best use of my visit to the museum? What are some do's and don'ts of visiting archives? Are eight different colored highlighters too many or not enough?
How do I determine whether a primary source is useful or merely interesting?
