32. Reflection “The Internet creates the potential to add value to primary sources materials by gathering and linking the knowledge of many people with those sources. Online presentation can also increase the research potential of historical image collections simply by bringing together pieces of historical evidence that have long been separated.” -Barbara Orbach Natanson, “Worth a Billion Words? Library of Congress Pictures Online,” 2007 Chicago skyline, dark exposure. Chicago Daily News negatives collection, DN-0079326. Courtesy of Chicago History Museum.
