Often, physical copies include handwritten notes and attached information which help us know more about a\u00a0document or the people who used it. While many publications are either born digital or scanned to produce a digital copy, there is additional value in keeping original copies in an archives under trained archival administration. Digitized copies do not always include attached notes or other documentation; however, a professionally trained archivist would maintain the original documents to be kept in original order with the original attachments&#8211;to preserve the experience of accessing the documents at the time of their deposit.<\/p>\n<p>In 1972, <em>HQ Review<\/em> replaced <em>Headquarters Reporter<\/em> in name and in design. The new issues were stapled packets featuring travelogues, creative writing, and essays written by staff.
