VISITS AND VISITORS

We have also found it necessary to divide the responsibility for
visiting. We must visit other established archives, historical societies, and
museums; otherwise in a new profession, it is easy to follow long-
established folly instead of new wisdom. We must see what new
equipment and design are to be discovered in newly-built institutions.
We ought, and want, to be present at the dedication of historical
monuments, the opening of new historical societies, the restoration of
houses and buildings. Fortunately, these things become more frequent
each year. You will see from the account below how we have managed.
