About this title

Synopsis

History, in these pages, is caught in the act of being made. Papers Read Before The Lancaster County Historical Society, February 7, 1913: History Herself, As Seen In Her Own Workshop (Volume XVII, No. 2) gives direct access to local scholars painstakingly examining Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as they knew it. Its insights still feel fresh. Framed as a historical society proceedings volume, these Lancaster County Historical Society papers capture the voices, concerns, and methods of early twentieth-century researchers as they debate sources, interpret records, and refine the craft of history itself. As a collection of local history essays grounded in primary documents, this primary source history edition offers rich material on Lancaster County Pennsylvania history and the broader story of Pennsylvania Dutch Country history. It reflects history research and methodology in practice, making it valuable both as American regional historical studies and as a resource for genealogists tracing families, land, and community life. Serving as a dependable reference for local historians reconstructing place, custom, and memory, it also gives general readers an intimate sense of how Americans once thought about their own county, their past, and their identity. Originally issued as an early 1900s historical publication, this American county history series title has long been hard to find beyond specialist libraries. 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.
