Benefit for Researchers

Archive materials are very valuable items to some of the researcher especially on local historical topics or biographical scope on local leaders or managers. It contains a physical evident on certain issues, events or statement as well as psychological relationship that can provide or support your research questions or as a comparison to different behavior.

As mentioned by the King’s College, UK : “Archives are important because they provide evidence of activities and tell us more about individuals and institutions. They tell stories. They also increase our sense of identity and understanding of cultures. They can even ensure justice. Records weren’t usually created for the purpose of historical research so they often provide a less biased account of events than secondary sources“.
