I have a stack of letters, court records, and newspaper clippings about the 1888 Springfield mill strike; I’m supposed to present an evidence base at the department seminar on [deadline=Friday] and I’m fumbling through different formats and missing links. I can’t tell whether gaps are true absences or stuff I haven’t located, and I’m worried the narrative will collapse if I misread a key letter. Tell me the most likely diagnosis: is this a sourcing problem, a transcription/search problem, or a provenance/forgery worry? Recommend the single next move that secures enough evidence for [deadline=Friday] without wrecking the archive—what to prioritize, who to call in Special Collections, and one line I can use to explain to the seminar chair why my claims are provisional.
