Inhaltsangabe

Enter the meeting room of 2 December 1910 and listen as local historians lay bare their craft. History lives in these pages. In this instalment of the Lancaster County Historical Society papers, "History Herself, As Seen in Her Own Workshop", readers encounter local history primary sources emerging at the moment of their making: addresses, discussions and records centred on Lancaster County, Pennsylvania history at the height of early 1900s American history. Both a historical society proceedings volume and a meditation on historiography and historical method, this issue shows historians thinking aloud about what they do, how they use archives and historical research, and how community memory becomes written history. Its contemporary reports and studies offer rich material for Pennsylvania local history research, while names, places and anecdotes are invaluable to genealogy and ancestry researchers. Serving as a compact primary source documents anthology, it doubles as a lucid reference for history students curious about how county historical society collection work once looked from the inside. 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 respect for the original edition, this volume speaks equally to casual readers of local history and to classic-literature collectors seeking authentic windows into the past.
