Remote/Digital Request Style The Guardian (The FactChecker) They focus on provenance. They want to see the physical folders to understand the "original order" and ensure their citations are 100% accurate. They will pore over the Finding Aid (the map of the collection) before they ever ask for a file. They want the "big picture" of the inventory. The Story Weaver (The Narrative Hunter) They look for marginalia—the scribbles in the margins of Casper’s legal documents or the emotional tone in a handwritten letter. They request scans of correspondence or diaries. They are looking for the "voice" of the people within the Morrison collection. The Trailblazer (The Data Miner) They want to know if they can photograph everything to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) later or if there is a way to map the locations mentioned. They are the most likely to use Remote Access portals. They want high-res downloads they can manipulate or "crunch" using digital tools. The Curator (The Visual Storyteller) They are looking for the "Hero Image." They want the most visually striking map, the most unique artifact, or the document with the most "wow" factor. They look for Media & Photos. They want assets they can put into a PowerPoint, a blog post, or a TikTok about Wyoming history.
