I am grateful you are willing to provide the information, I do plan on sticking around as I appreciate how you present information with little to no bias and the content is varied and fascinating!

I asked about sources mainly because I work in an academic library and thus authority/authenticity of information is something I am interested in. But I also understand the line between personal and professional endeavors. Should I ever desperately need a source I will be sure to ask and follow any specified routes.

Thank you again!

Parshall Fri, 04 May 2012 19:47:10 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=17374#comment-220775 I’m glad you understand (some people don’t). I’m really not trying to take shortcuts, or play fast and loose with scholarly standards. A casual venue like a blog, where articles are posted primarily to generate discussion and so that regular readers can get a more direct sense of our history, is a little different from formal publication or even a website that purports to provide scholarly resources.

I hope you’ll become a familiar part of our community here, Lauren.

Parshall Fri, 04 May 2012 19:36:28 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=17374#comment-220768 Welcome to Keepa, Lauren. Glad to have you here!

I generally do not cite my sources openly on posts — because I earn my living researching and writing for clients, I have to protect myself to the extent of not making it too easy for my research to melt into other people’s publications without acknowledgment. However, if there is need for someone to know the source of a specific document, I’m glad to discuss it — readers can reach me at keepapitchinin [at] aol [dot] com. When someone has supported Keepa with comments over time and wants a source, especially when it is for family history purposes, I usually just send the source when asked. Otherwise, I ask for a modest payment in return for that professional assistance.

I was wondering if there is anywhere on your site you have citations for the publications you create your posts from? I looked, but could not find any and there is nothing on your about page about where you get the information.

Thanks!
