Question About Historical Documents

Where historical documents are kept?

Most American Historical Documents are kept at the Smithsonian Institute OR The National Archives and Records Administration in Washington DC and can be viewed for free by the general public.

They are not on view constantly to protect them from the damage of light and other things.

If you remember in the movie National Treasure with Nicolas Cage, where they kept the Declaration of Independance in the Preservation and Storage area inside the Institute.......that is actually where they DO keep it.
The movie is actually on TV tonite on NBC, Sunday.
Excellent view of how documents are kept.

If you go to the sites for the Smithsonian Institute and National Archives and Records Administration, you are able to see actually what they do keep there.

Where can I find ancient historical documents?

Primary sources: were either created during the time period being studied or were created at a later date by a participant in the events being studied. They reflect the individual viewpoint of a participant or observer. Primary sources enable the researcher to get as close as possible to what actually happened during an historical event or time period.For e.g. Ashoka’s edicts or inscriptions on coins which also gives an account of the economy of the civilization or the empire, their trade routes etc.Secondary source: is a work that interprets or analyzes an historical event or phenomenon.For e.g. scholarly or popular books and articles, reference books, and textbooks.So please be specific primary or secondary manuals and essays, secondly history itself is a very vast subject and is evergrowing, ancient history in itself is huge. So if you wish to find ancient historical documents then which civilization’s, which empire’s?If you wish to lay your hands on primary documents you would have to visit archives/libraries.For secondary documents you can find a lot of work on any topic online or offline.

Im sorry to bother you, but i have another question about historical documents?

Basically, the Constitution doesn't say anything about either us having other countries under our control or about us making other countries part of our country. The President, by taking the opportunity to get this land, has done something that he is not Constitutionally allowed to do. It's like a guardian taking his ward's money (more about wards later) and buying good land when he can, then telling the ward when he gets the rest of his money that he was doing what he thought best and that he understands if the ward is pissed. So Jefferson's point is that the president isn't really supposed to do this, but he was doing what he thought best for America, and he supports that, because it was a once-in-a-century opportunity.

So, about wards, if you are a ward, you have a lot of money and you're still underage. So, instead of just letting you have it all immediately or whatever, the government puts someone in charge of you, preferably an uncle or something, and they take care of you and make sure you don't do anything stupid, and then you get your money when you turn 21. Or maybe 18.

I just want to add that the "Hey, Jon, Dude" cracked me up. Perfectly reworded.

Are there any significant historical documents that haven't been digitally archived?

Curious to know if there are known repositories, archives, libraries of physical documents and artifacts (of significance) that have yet to be digitally archived? Particularly in lesser advanced/tribal regions of South America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe etc.Are there any projects or organizations in existence who’s mission it is to remedy this? Actually visiting these sites and working to have digitize and make them publicly available.

Are there still historical documents showing the use of Spada da Latos (the successor of the medieval arming sword)?

I should note that caution is advised whenever employing any 'special name' for any sword at all. Most of these names did not exist in the time they were used, as most of the users merely called them 'swords'. Furthermore, we today do not agree on what these terms even mean; I heavily suspect that my baleful view of the rapier is coloured by what I sort under the index of 'rapier', especially given Matt Easton's views on a weapon he names the same.George Silver's Paradoxes of Defence was published in 1599; he later wrote Brief Instructions on My Paradoxes of Defence around six years later, but never published it; it did, however, later get published in 1898 for the Boer War. There's also Joseph Swetnam's The Schoole of the Noble and Worthy Science of Defence, published 1617.

2 disadvantages of using historical documents as secondary sources of data in sociological research?

If you were planning of using historical documents for your research;the problems that you may face are that you may not be able to find relevant information that is any use to your study. Also the information in the historical documents may not be valid as some things written may not be exactly how things actually happened
