potential to inspire new discoveries. The easy interface behaves comparable to a wiki page, with the information easily accessible. For example, the page for Horace Greeley includes a short biography and several links in the references section for books about him, as well as newspaper articles and primary documents from those who knew him. The collection also features the diary of Thomas Butler Gunn, which was digitized and transcribed by the Missouri History Museum. Gunn was an illustrator in the United States who wrote about his time working in the press prior to the Civil War and also as a Civil War correspondent. The collection holds thirty-seven volumes of his diary entries from 1849 to 1863. Gunn worked with and later wrote about many famous bohemians, including the cartoonist Thomas Nast and Sol Eytinge Jr., an illustrator for Charles Dickens. Gunn’s detailed first-hand accounts of other journalists he knew could prove valuable to media researchers. The archive’s search function enables users to discover connections between historical figures through the “relationships” tab. Researchers curious about Whitman’s lovers or Greeley’s friends could type those terms into the search bar, which renders texts that mention other bohemians who might have been a lover or friend based on previous scholarly findings and, in some cases, primary source evidence. The Vault at Pfaff’s may be of use to media researchers and biographers interested in learning about bohemian journalists. The site provides much information about a time when journalism was beginning to flourish and transition from literature. The site is simple to navigate and provides a wealth of primary sources that would ease the job of a biographer or a researcher.

激发新发现的潜力。简单的界面类似于维基页面,信息易于访问。例如,Horace Greeley 的页面包括一个简短的传记和参考部分中关于他的书籍的几个链接,以及报纸文章和认识他的人的主要文件。该系列还包括由密苏里历史博物馆数字化和转录的托马斯·巴特勒·古恩 (Thomas Butler Gunn) 的日记。Gunn 是美国的一名插画家,他写了关于他在内战之前在新闻界工作的时间以及作为内战记者的经历。该系列收藏了他从 1849 年到 1863 年的三十七卷日记。 Gunn 曾与许多著名的波西米亚人合作,后来写了许多著名的波西米亚人,包括漫画家 Thomas Nast 和 Sol Eytinge Jr.,查尔斯·狄更斯的插画家。Gunn 对他认识的其他记者的详细第一手资料可能对媒体研究人员很有价值。档案的搜索功能使用户能够通过“关系”选项卡发现历史人物之间的联系。对惠特曼的情人或格里利的朋友感到好奇的研究人员可以在搜索栏中输入这些词,搜索栏会根据之前的学术发现以及在某些情况下的主要来源证据,呈现提及可能是情人或朋友的其他波西米亚人的文本。Pfaff 的 Vault 可能对有兴趣了解波西米亚记者的媒体研究人员和传记作者有用。该网站提供了许多关于新闻业开始蓬勃发展和从文学转变的时期的信息。
