Fragments of an argument (1)

The fragments of the diaries here published were found in the private archives of Nashville public library. Among others documents from the eighties, a group of notebooks that seem to have pertained to a whole university class was identified. Despite our endeavors to situate them both in time and place, the university where the authors of this documents studied couldn't be determined. Although, we can assert that they were written by philosophy undergraduates students. After a careful reading of them, just one, rather strange, intertextual relation was found. In two of the documents - two diaries, to be precise - the same event is narrated: an argument between two students. From this perhaps unimportant event, we can extract conclusions that account for the more general philosophical environment of the eighties.

Corrections

Fragments of an aArgument (1)

We capitalise the key words of the sentence in a title, pretty much everything except conjunctions, articles etc.

The fragments of the diaries here published were found in the private archives of Nashville pPublic lLibrary.

As Nashville Public Library is a proper noun (in this case, a place), we capitalise each letter of the name.
Note: "here published" sounds a bit antiquated but is good for formal writing. For "ordinary use" I would write "published here".

the books continue to pertain to the students

Despite our endeavors to situate them in both in time and place, the university where the authors of thisese documents studied couldn't be determined.

Plural documents

Although, we can assert that they were written by philosophy undergraduates students.

Here, "undergraduate" is used as an adjective, thus it doesn't need to be changed for the plural.

If you want to indicate that the environment was more philosophical back then, you could say "more (generally) philosophical.."
The current correction doesn't draw a comparison to today.

Interesting topic and a strong text with a formal tone.
