Historians are typically more concerned with the meaning conveyed by an assemblage of organizational records, hence make greater use of archives and source collections compiled in the previous and following sections. If they must consult the originals, however, they can gain the requisite familiarity with the scripts used by record keepers by a consultation of manuscript facsimiles
