Synopsis

Step into the workshop of history, where the everyday life of a Pennsylvania county is patiently reconstructed from its own records. These local voices still speak. First presented as historical society papers on 3 March 1911, History Herself, As Seen in Her Own Workshop offers a vivid glimpse into how early 20th century scholarship approached Lancaster County history and the wider mid Atlantic regional history it reflects. At once local history monograph and meditation on historical research methods, it draws directly on the Lancaster County archives to show how official records and community memory become a primary source history collection. For historians and researchers, local historians, and anyone tracing family lines, this careful study stands as a valuable genealogy research resource and a classic of American county histories. Curious general readers discover an intimate portrait of place and time. Its pages capture the mindset of early 20th century scholars, preserving both the evidence they treasured and the way they read the past. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for readers of Pennsylvania local history and guardians of the nation's documentary heritage.
