Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

David Kyvig and Myron Marty have issued a second edition of their fine introduction to the study of 'nearby history' that takes account of new developments in computer technology, desktop publishing, and the Internet. [They] use the concept of nearby history to argue forcefully that local historical concerns are always linked to larger historical issues and to the essence of public history. They then offer an eminently readable tour of basic historical research methodology. Their presentation is so sensitive to both practical and historiographical concerns that doctoral students, as well as amateur local history sleuths, will benefit from reading this book.--David A. Zonderman, (North Carolina State University) "North Carolina Historical Review "

Reseña del editor:

This is a comprehensive handbook on investigating the history of your own community, family, local institutions, and cultural artifacts. It offers advice on how to find and use records, connect individual investigations with broader historical issues, and use photographs and documents in a study.
