A couple of months ago I realized that I’d lost a notebook with several months’ worth of bibliographic and misc. dissertation notes. Now that I’m reviewing the numerous photocopies I’d made of my primary sources, I fear that the lost notebook may have contained more information than previously thought. Like, oh, most of the manuscript information for many of the photocopies.
Sigh. I may find the notebook someday, but don’t harbor much hope. Wonder if there’s any shortcut for recovering random bits of one’s research, most of which (bits) are of unknown (unremembered) nature… Oh, I’d be happy to just go to the libraries again, but these materials were gathered in Britain.
