The Guide to Public Archives provides essential thumbnail sketches about archives, libraries, and repositories worldwide, including descriptions of collections, contact information, and access requirements. By centralizing the information into one gateway service, Newsjunkie improves the discovery process, helping users find sources and services for their research.<\/p>\n
\u201cProfessional archives preserve our collective history, and support ongoing scholarship within almost every field,\u201d said Newsjunkie publisher Gordon Whiting. \u201cOur guide makes the search for primary materials more fun, less tedious.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Guide includes archives spanning multiple disciplines and regions, from ancient census data to modern literature, photographs and recordings, to newspapers, government documents, scientific records, and specialized collections focused on particular historical periods, cultures, industries, or communities. Collections of the scale of Library of Congress and The Vatican are included, as well as numerous local and single-subject repositories.<\/p>\n
Newsjunkie developed the Guide to Public Archives in response to growing interest from journalists who struggle to locate which archives out of thousands hold materials relevant to their assignments. The Guide streamlines the process and encourages broader engagement with facilities, artifacts and data that might not have been known to the user in the past. “We’re developing new filter tools to help navigate these spaces,” said Whiting. “The sheer number of collections and artifacts is a challenge to master, but very exciting.”<\/p>\n
