I try to write about the history of the hobby but I am not the wordsmith that G. Harry was.

To be clear, the NASM Stine holdings are a raw document dump, and are not organized in any useful manner. In order to use them, one must have a general working knowledge of the early history of our hobby, including background info on the major players and companies. Plowing through the documents requires a fair amount of interpretation and dot-connecting.
I suspect that the MoF archives will be much the same, albeit slightly better organized and more voluminous.
