==<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">AwesomeStories is about primary sources. The stories exist as a way to place original materials in context and to hold those links together in an interesting, cohesive way (thereby encouraging people to look at them). It is a totally different kind of web site in that its purpose is to place primary sources at the forefront - not the opinions of a writer. __Its objective is to take the site's users to places where those primary sources are located.__ ==

===//<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you get stuck or have trouble finding primary sources come to the LMC so we can assist you with searching these and other more specific sources. //===
