Inhaltsangabe

Step inside the reading room of 1910 Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where local historians gathered to examine their own methods as keenly as their past. History lives in these pages. Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, May 13, 1910: History Herself, As Seen in Her Own Workshop (Volume XIV, No. 5) is a classic historical society publication that captures early 1900s Pennsylvania thought on how history should be studied, written, and preserved. Blending a reflective historical method essay with concrete examples drawn from Lancaster County history, the volume opens a window onto how researchers of the time approached archives, town records, family papers and memory. It stands today as a primary source history book and a valuable genealogy research resource, offering insight into the questions, standards and practices that shaped 1910 Lancaster Pennsylvania and the wider Pennsylvania local history collection. For anyone interested in historical research methods, local history book collections, or American historical society essays, it serves as an illuminating local historians reference. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Prepared with care as both reading copy and keepsake, this understated yet revealing work of Lancaster County history speaks to casual readers of the past as much as to serious collectors of classic local and regional studies.
