Data source 03
Personal archive
Articles and other materials Richie kept can offer clues about the ideas, questions, and subjects that held his attention.
01
Source material
The archive may include articles, documents, notes, and other saved items. The exhibit will identify what can be shown publicly and how each item should be attributed.
02
Interpreted characteristics
A collection can suggest sustained interests, concerns, tastes, and intellectual habits. Interpretation should distinguish between keeping an item and endorsing every claim it contains.

Limitations
