Hane Biography

I think that I may have a more liberal approach than many in regards to this question of what we should consider important information. I think that the archives hold a vast amount of information that would be extremely important, or would be of extreme interest to a finding guide for a Hane biographical item. However, if we championed a specific few bits of information for this, I’d begin with correspondence. Letters, or mail or faxs of any kind would be extremely insightful for, any number of reasons. I would say that those things are probably the most important to obtaining biographical information, as they are naturally more personal than the majority of items that are within the archive. I do also think that Hane’s notes and day-to-day writings would be useful, as they do offer an insight into what Hane’s day to day exploits are. I don’t think there are a lot of materials we should exclude, though, because most things within the archive, that I’ve seen, can be useful for biographical reasons. I do overall think that one should focus on the correspondence, though.
