Pilar--

A beautifully simple explanation in 3 sentences. Thanks.

"It seems to me that there's a fundamental difference between those items 
that have identifiable, intrinsic historical value at the time they are 
created (e.g., charter for an organization, deed of sale for property, 
treaty between nations) and something that develops contextual historical 
value at a later time (e.g., Abraham Lincoln's shopping list).  Those 
items of known, identifiable, intrinsic historical value need to be 
protected upon their creation.  Those items whose historical value 
develops within some context over time will need to be protected as they 
are identified."
