Just every bastion of historical knowledge, let me in.

Especially when they tell me they don’t have things they SHOULD have.

Look, I just want to know if the man I believe to be my great-grandfather really did shit and if I ever come in contact with a Time Machine, do I need to go back and seek vengeance for my Grandma and Great-Grandma.

I should be allowed into every museum's archives actually

#I once nearly begged a judge to let me into a county courthouse archive because I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE DOCUMENTS HE SAID THEY DID NOT #Life of a researcher #sadly you can’t just show up and barge into archives that aren’t open for public research #it is the worst #annoying #terrible #aka my beef with a man who has been dead since the 1970s #who is most likely my great-grandfather #and a piece of shit who abandoned his daughter #and maybe got his ex locked up in an insane asylum #fuck you Charles
