Excerpt from Guide to the Published Archives of Pennsylvania Covering the 138 Volumes of Colonial Records and Pennsylvania Archives, Series I-IX<br/><br/>A very definite attempt has been made to attain detachment and fair ness in presenting the story of the published archives. Satisfied with our present  day concept as 'to what deserves emphasis, moderns tend to manifest impatience with the differing interest, the seemingly more trivial and romantic fads and fashions of earlier days. Current preju dice almost inevitably colors our estimate of a generation of historians more concerned than we are with spectacular incident and military glory. It is hoped that such critical comment as is contained in this Guide may be expressed with fitting tolerance and humility even while fulfilling its essential purpose of providing honest guidance to modern searchers, for most of whom a primary interest in the development of documented studies treating themes of general economic and social significance can be assumed. Very possibly posterity will consider our interests, too, as somewhat quaint, and certainly we should avoid biased judgment.
