‘Wider humanities & social science fields are underrepresented; communities… are often not centred; and these perspectives are often only included after key research decisions have already been made.’

Hard copy is usually beautiful. The fade comes from a worn microfilm of the original. That also means if you have access to a different copy of the microfilm that it can be better too.
