Questions for reflection

One of the information sources on this page is different from the others. This secondary source written by an historian interprets, tells the story of Armstrong at this period.  What is the connection, relationship this book and the other information sources you’ve examined?

How do the Minutes of the Armstrong commission differ from The Inkwell? How are these sources similar?

What did you learn from an artifact, such the rat cap?

The information resources show here are a small selection from the University Archives. What sources/voices are missing?
