Written sources can easily be replicated digitally without losing a lot of their - what I'll be calling it - **source-value** in comparison with the original.

I personally had to get out of University to realize that there is a lot more than just texts, which can be used as historical sources. I've talked with other students about it and their experience was similar. Admittedly, working with *Objects* as sources is in most cases more abstract and difficult than using texts, but this shouldn't be a reason not to do it, as there is much to gain. +The other reason why *Objects* only play a minor role in the historical source selection is, that in most cases it's simply not taught in University.
