Abstract

Archival research is required to acquire original source materials, both quantitative and qualitative. This chapter illustrates the value of cultivating a historical temperament in economic research and argues that nurturing archival interpretation is key to developing such a temperament. Examples demonstrate how newly acquired archival materials formed the basis of recently published studies in economic history.
