Memoirs and Other Archival Documents
Janko, Jan
The paper tries to evaluate memoirs of outstanding scientists and technicians as a source for history of their disciplines and communities. Memoirs and memories give often otherwise not recorded details and insights, nevertheless their necessary subjective presentation of the matter requires a cautious exploit. As a main problem the author considers the gap between the time of the course of events described and the time of writing. It is also shown in this context how the aims of celebration in the obituaries and similar commemorative items weakens their value for the further work.
