A Discourse Pronounced On The Inauguration Of The New Hall, March 11, 1872: Of The Historical Society Of Pennsylvania, No. 820 Spruce Street, Philadlephia - Softcover
Synopsis
A city dedicates a hall, and a culture declares its memory worth keeping. Hear Philadelphia speak for itself. In this inaugural address transcript, John William Wallace records the dedication ceremony speech that opened the Historical Society of Pennsylvania's new home at No. 820 Spruce Street, Philadlephia, on 11 March 1872. Part of the Society's own historical society proceedings, this concise primary source document captures how leading citizens of Reconstruction era America framed the duties of pennsylvania historical preservation: collecting manuscripts, safeguarding fragile evidence, and shaping public understanding of the past. It is rich in philadelphia civic history and offers an authentic window into philadelphia 1870s history, when institutions, archives, and scholarship were being organised with renewed urgency. Readers drawn to american antiquarian scholarship will value Wallace's measured argument for why records matter; family historians will find a genealogy research reference point that illuminates the networks and priorities behind early collecting. 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. As an archival reprint edition, it belongs on the shelf of anyone who follows the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, studies local and national memory, or simply enjoys the clarity of a public voice speaking at a turning point in American historical consciousness.
