Step into the workshop where history examines itself. Watch history at work inside. On 5 September 1913, members of the Lancaster County Historical Society gathered to hear an absorbing address on how the past is discovered, weighed and written. Issued as part of the historical society papers series 'Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society, Volume XVII, No. 7,' under the title History Herself, As Seen In Her Own Workshop, this piece of 1913 Pennsylvania history captures early 1900s historiography as practitioners understood it on the ground in Pennsylvania local history. Reflective rather than narrative, it considers the tools, limitations and responsibilities of historians, turning everyday records and memories into a living historical research reference. For readers of Lancaster County history, for local history buffs and a resource for genealogists, it stands today as a revealing primary source collection in miniature, and a characteristic example of American historical society publications within the wider world of American regional history books. Scholars of history research methods will value its contemporary voice; casual readers gain an intimate glimpse of how one community thought about preserving its own story. 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.
