Documents in Archives

[Koen G]

I note that Koen has listed on his website some manuscripts that have not been digitised that he would like to see with reference to his research into Diebold Lauber etc.; I am not sure if I think they are worth pursuing or not as I haven't yet studied his writing on that. However it makes sense to try to track down certain documents.

One thing I can add here is that knowing which manuscript you would like to see requires digging deep into a particular subject. At the moment I don't even remember why I wanted to see those manuscripts, and it would take some mental effort to get back into the mindset where I actually wanted to see them. There is a subjective passion required to drive one to find undigitized documents. There needs to be a specific research question, a curiosity to have particular questions answered by these missing documents. This is why, when someone asks which documents I'd like to see digitized, I find this question hard to answer. This is often dependent on one's current research.
