The Magnus Archives never has researchers visit

having worked in multiple archives it's really fucking and extra creepy to me that the archive gets like visitors requesting old statements.

it's also a loss of comedic opportunities weird grad students, fiction authors, and genealogy-obsessed old men don't come asking for every statement about:

a. specific phenomena like ghost ships or haunted clocks

b. specific time period questions like if people were giving statements about wolves in the 30's

c. copies of famous historical figures' statements or events

d. anything with his last name on it, which you hope you don't find so you don't have to hear about how is great great grandpa fought in a war and started a company and in the case of tma idk sacrificed children and cows to be eaten by the sky.
