Repository History
The Repository of History serves as a museum for ancient artifacts. Through collection and study of such
artifacts, its curators aim to help their people remember in light of the angara forgetting much of their past due to the
Scourge and the kett invasion decimating angaran civilization.
The museum can be reached through two doors to its north and south in Aya's capital city. To the east lies the Resistance
Headquarters while to the northwest is The Tavetaan. Inside, the only door that isn't an exit leads to Moshae Sjefa's
Laboratory.
The repository's walls are lined with angara, kett, and Remnant artifacts, many of them dating from before the Scourge.
Small artifacts float within their display pedestals, while larger collections are displayed as is.
Head curator Avela Kjar oversees the exhibits, and her two assistants Nalon and Elihn wander around inspecting each one.
Peebee usually hangs around here during Aya visits, where she often observes the Remnant exhibits. A datapad containing
correspondence between Avela and her mother can be found near her, though it disappears later.
With the opening of the Andromeda Initiative Embassy nearby, a section of the repository is later made available for
cultural artifacts brought by the Andromeda Initiative from the Milky Way: a human anthropologist and a salarian
historian hastily assembled a number of items for display. Several items found during exploration of the Heleus Cluster
can also make their way into the exhibits.
They collect documents, such as letters, reports, memos, pictures, and other artifacts, from these archives of
historic materials in order to put together the history of the built and natural surroundings. The majority of the archives we
visit are shown below.
EXAMPLES
These include large public libraries like the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library, special
collections in colleges and universities, and historical societies and museums. There are government archives at the
national, state, county, and municipal level.
Repository of Primary Sources of history, whether primary or secondary, come from the past and gives insight
into the period being studied. Instead of viewing history as a list of dates and facts, primary sources provide the original
artifacts of historical interpretation. They are stored, preserved and accessed from institutions and sites tasked and
dedicated to give an accurate and clear perspective of the past. For the conduct of historical research there are a lot of
repositories of primary sources. Although it is the toughest part of studying history, it is also most rewarding, especially
when sources collected becomes the solid foundation for a scholarly work. Both physical, personal and online repositories
of sources abound. The real challenge is to produce a well-curated collection of materials. An advice would be the use of
the right terminology from the era under study in order to properly locate significant materials.
External criticism refers to the authenticity of the document. Once a document has been determined to be genuine
(external criticism), researchers need to determine if the content is accurate (internal criticism). We conduct historical
research for a number of reasons: – to avoid the mistakes of the past.
Internal criticism is one’s internal thinking mind that has perhaps perceived some experiences as making one
feel less than. External criticism comes from others or is perceived as coming from and through experiences with others
which may or may not reinforce that thinking mind and its already held perceptions.
Content analysis is a research method used to identify patterns in recorded communication. To conduct content
analysis, you systematically collect data from a set of texts, which can be written, oral, or visual:
Books, newspapers and magazines
Speeches and interviews
Web content and social media posts
Photographs and films
Content analysis can be both quantitative (focused on counting and measuring) and qualitative (focused on
interpreting and understanding). In both types, you categorize or “code” words, themes, and concepts within the texts and
then analyze the results.
Researchers use content analysis to find out about the purposes, messages, and effects of communication content.
They can also make inferences about the producers and audience of the texts they analyze.
Content analysis can be used to quantify the occurrence of certain words, phrases, subjects or concepts in a set of
historical or contemporary texts.
Context analysis is a powerful tool for understanding the environment in which an organization operates and
making informed decisions. It involves gathering data, analyzing it to identify patterns and trends, synthesizing insights
from the analysis, creating strategies and recommendations based on those insights, communicating findings effectively to
stakeholders, and regularly reviewing results. By following these steps outlined below you can ensure that your context
analysis yields actionable outcomes that will help your organization succeed.
To initiate a context analysis, clearly outline its purpose, desired outcomes, and intended application. This might involve
identifying knowledge gaps, understanding your target audience, or formulating a communications strategy.
Develop a framework for analysis, focusing on aspects like political, economic, social, technological, legal, and
environmental factors (PESTLE analysis) or employing another analytical method tailored to your specific needs.
List all relevant stakeholders and key players, such as target audience, competitors, regulators, and industry influencers.
Consider their positions, motivations, and interests, and include them in the context analysis.
