Summary / Abstract (Note) | This analysis explores the history and structure of the archive of the Edwardian Foreign Office. It uses data and quantitative research methodology to address two crucial questions. What survives within the collection? And what can historians and others find using the regular discovery tools such as indexes and catalogues? It concludes by looking at how these processes shape the ways historians are using this collection; and in doing so, it provides a crucial new context for any historians using this hugely important source and poses some challenging questions about the nature of archival research methodology. |
