Perhaps because I approach history like an anthropologist, I am never happier than when I am reading an old newspaper, which allows me to wander in the "field" of a past culture, encountering a panoply of events, concerns, images, and voices, only half of which I understand. I always find that it invites figuring and interpretation in a way that other sources do not. #historicalresearch #historicalanthropology #newspapers #primarysources
