A citation to the Longyear Museum's own published research pages on Christ and Christmas and on the artwork in Mary Baker Eddy's home, read directly. Its strength is that the Longyear Museum is a nonprofit institution dedicated specifically to Mary Baker Eddy's life and the history of Christian Science, and its pages give first edition publication details, the collaboration with illustrator James F. Gilman, and a direct quotation from Eddy on the work's doctrinal purpose. Its limit is that the original artwork and manuscripts it describes are held by the Mary Baker Eddy Library, a separate institution whose own pages could not be reached directly and were not used.

The Longyear Museum, a specialist museum devoted to Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science history, its own record of its own holdings; a genuine institutional record, but from a small subject-specific museum rather than a major independent collecting institution, hence the middle tier. Connections
