Synopsis

Step into the meeting room of 7 November 1913, as Lancaster's historians gather to examine their own craft and their own past. History lives in the footnotes. In Papers Read Before the Lancaster County Historical Society: November 7, 1913, "History Herself, As Seen In Her Own Workshop", readers encounter early 20th century nonfiction that reflects on how local memory is built, tested, and preserved in early 1900s Pennsylvania. At once a set of lancaster pennsylvania historical documents and a meditation on the making of narrative itself, it opens a candid window onto lancaster county pennsylvania history and the people who dedicated their lives to recording it. Issued as part of the longstanding lancaster county historical society papers and county historical society journals tradition, this volume now serves as a rich local history source collection and pennsylvania history primary source collection for american local history research, historiography and archival methods, and as a trusted reference for local historians, genealogy and family history researchers, and anyone drawn to the texture of community memory. 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. Accessible enough for the curious general reader yet resonant for archivists, scholars, and classic-literature collectors, it preserves a vivid moment when history paused to look thoughtfully at itself.
