Across the Generations is a revealing but limited introduction to the possibilities of using family papers to study U.S. history. An online exhibit of letters, account books, photographs, and other documents generated by four prominent northeastern families from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries, this site highlights how a sustained examination of one family's papers can illuminate historical change over time. The producer and content provider for this exhibit is Smith College's Sophia Smith Collection, one of the nation's leading repositories for sources on women's history. |
