Much like a fine wine sources too are often better with age. Older sources have had less years to have the history worn away from everything between special interests, and pure ignorance.
The other day I was given the opportunity to interview a veteran briefly, although they wanted anomimity. The conversation was struck up while donating to the American Legion.

A Good Book
A local college often has an area labeled "free books" and consists of hard-bound, once research only, couldn't leave the library type book, however, they've been phased out. Perhaps there was no remaining space for those out-dated books, or perhaps grants were given for new books provided they replaced the old. Regardless of why the books were removed they are still often a gold mine of information.
There is a real problem of information disappearing. As generations pass on, and their stories are not recorded it won't be a long time before all of those stories might as well never have happened. Many reference books on topics such as eugenics, and fluoride were taken from the free books, however, I was lucky enough to convince a neighbor to borrow some 1950's era 10 cent magazines.
