Reviewing Historical Accuracy Through Digitized Yearbooks, Newspapers, Or Magazines

بواسطة : Unknown بتاريخ : 1:05 ص
By Susan Baker


These days just about every previously printed document is being scanned into a digital format. Such technology can make photographs more clear, and details within images can be enlarged for better viewing. Everything from old issues of magazines and periodicals to digitized yearbooks are available for those engaged in various forms of research.

Those of us who are researching our ancestry may wish to gather all historical family data into a digital file. This can be kept safe in several locations, and made viewable by other family members. It is fascinating to see the faces of our ancestors, and can give comfort and a sense of belonging to anyone who lost a family member early in life.

Even seeing a copy of the handwriting of an ancestor is exciting for anyone researching their ancestry. Military records and photos that may never have been seen by the family can be obtained. Families can create both a physical as well as a digital scrapbook of their ancestors, and with such documentation, they are able to proudly proclaim that they are kin to key historical figures.

Writers find these services to be of great benefit to their profession. An entire genre of novels known as Historical Fiction has cropped up in the past twenty years. In order to ensure historical accuracy, these writers often must obtain documents and photographs going back to the very early explorers setting sail in antiquity to seek their fortunes and claim lands for Queen and Country.

The ability to obtain school and police records has allowed journalists to really burn political candidates. Everyone has a right to know what kind of person they might be voting for, and when reporters write books about the past activities of those seeking public office, it allows voters to make a clear choice. A man or woman running for office must be able to show that they have integrity, as their misdeeds are no longer left hidden in the past.

When these so-called expose novels are biased in nature, the availability of old documents often allows the bias and propaganda to be exposed as well. These days it can be difficult to know what is true, but private citizens have the ability to gather the same evidence as anyone with official backing. This is the day for the whistle-blower to be a hero, and the Charlatan can more easily be exposed.

Anyone who has lost a family member to a crime which remains unsolved are encouraged to pursue digital copies of past investigations. Fresh eyes on an old case can reveal a great deal about a crime, and might even be able to solve it decades later. A murder half a century old can still be solved, and sometimes the guilty party can still be made to pay for their atrocity.

This is an exciting time for all humans, as our past catches up to the present in greater detail than ever before. Even so, a yearbook is more than a collection of photographs, and nothing can replace having the real thing in-hand. Those notes left by classmates in the pages of our history can tell more about a person than any copy ever will.
