The question is would the use of cotton socks cause more damage to a historical document due to the loss of dexterity vs using hands sans gloves?  :)

Subject: [Arcan-l] portrayal of Archives in literature and movies

Some time ago there was a listserv discussion about the portrayal of Archives in popular culture - literature, movies etc.

If this project is still being pursued (or for general interest) check out The House Girl by Tara Conklin - especially pages 277 and 300. (The main character, Lina, ends up using cotton socks to handle an historic document because she doesn't have gloves, but has been instructed not to touch without them...)
