Title: Encyclopedia of local history
First published: 2000
Description: "How is local history thought about? How should it be approached? What is the context behind local events and institutions? Where does one start? Through brief, succinct notes and essay-length entries, the Encyclopedia of Local History presents ideas to consider, sources to use, historical fields and trends to explore. It also provides commentary on a number of subjects, including the everyday topics that most historians encounter. Useful appendixes provide information on ethnic groups, religious organizations, and immigration. A handy reference too that no local historian's desk should be without!"--Jacket.
