Davis attending Congress AGM, to instigate a discussion on access to research [same discussion she holds at Anglo-American Conference of Historians, same year] (English)
1: "Miss Jeffries Davis, of the Institute of Historical Research in the University of London, opened a discussion on the means whereby the research work of local historical, archaeological and record societies might be better known and more accessible to historical investigators. Miss Davis dealt with the subject under two aspects : (English)
A. The value to historians of much that is published by local Societies. B. The difficulties which often prevent them from discovering what has been thus published. (English)
A. All Historical and Record Societies continually, and Archaeological Societies from time to time, published documents. These had a double value : (i) to the local antiquaries, historians, topographers and genealogists who formed the Society (English)
(2) for general archaeological, historical and biographical purposes, in combination with similar material relating to other areas. Examples : Pipe Rolls, Municipal, Diocesan and Parochial records, etc., etc. All were obviously of much value to the historian, especially if he were interested in English administrative, ecclesiastical, social, or economic history. (English)
B. Supposing the historian knew where the original documents were, or ought to be, how could he discover whether, when or where they had been printed ? (English)
He would, of course, begin with the publica- tions of H.M. Government, and go on to those of the societies, if such existed, which dealt specifically with the kind of material he needed ; but otherwise he would have to be content with Gross's Bibliography of Municipal History and the Catalogue of the Record Office Library, neither complete, both out of date, and the latter not easily procured. (English)
Beyond these he had to rely on chance references and reviews, and the incomplete though very valuable card index at the Record Office. It was, therefore, very unlikely that he would discover all the material available. In conclusion, Miss Davis urged the following desiderata : (1) A complete list of all Societies publishing historical material. (English)
(2) An accessible collection of all their Reports, Lists of publications, and Index volumes, conveniently arranged. (3) A Card Index of printed documents, arranged historically, not topographically, to be kept in a place where it would be accessible to all historical investigators" (English)
