{ "item_title" : "Papers Read Before The Lancaster County Historical Society December 4, 1908", "item_author" : [" Unknown "], "item_description" : "History speaks in quiet rooms. On 4 December 1908, members of the Lancaster County Historical Society gathered to reflect on their craft, record their community, and decide how their work should endure. The resulting proceedings, including the essay History Herself, As Seen In Her Own Workshop, reveal how early twentieth-century historians understood evidence, memory and narrative. At once intimate and rigorous, this primary source anthology opens a window onto Lancaster County history, its people, and its place within 1908 American history. Rich in names, dates, places and first-hand reflections, the volume serves as a valuable resource for genealogists seeking Pennsylvania genealogy records and for anyone building a local history collection. The minutes, index to the Society's proceedings, and detailed discussions of historiography and research methods make it an important academic history reference among American historical society publications and Pennsylvania local history books, capturing the concerns of early 20th century Pennsylvania scholars as they preserved regional stories for posterity. 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. Ideal for readers who cherish original voices and for collectors of finely produced heritage editions, this carefully prepared reissue keeps a rare historical society proceedings volume in circulation, ensuring Lancaster County's documentary legacy remains alive and accessible.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/35/444/672/9354446728_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "17.95", "online_price" : "17.95", "our_price" : "17.95", "club_price" : "17.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
