...make such resources available to historical investigators. Often it is found that owners take a very worthy pleasure in exhibiting to friends such relics; but carefully-made photographs have almost the same value as a mere exhibit, and the handling and exposure to light, and the general exposure to utter destruction by fire is of great consequence in the case of originals...
