"I will talk about the three basic ingredients that have transformed my day job into a vocation, in the richest sense of that word. The fi rst is respect for the past, and the qualities that the researcher brings with her into an archive. The second is insight, which gives order and draws meaning from sources that would otherwise lie silent. The third is generosity, which refl ects the gifts that scholars give to each other and, if all goes well, to the broader community." [From author's introduction]
