📚From the Stacks📚

It’s always interesting to learn about the context in which our ancestors lived. Context informs us of the decisions they made and why they made them. Have you ever wondered why an ancestor moved across the country, left behind a successful business, or chose an unexpected career path?

When we look at historical records, we often only see the "what" - a date of migration, a change in occupation, or a sudden relocation. But understanding the historical, economic, and social context in which a decision was made can give us the "why."

At HMCPL’s Special Collections department, our social studies collection provides a large selection of reference materials for learning about society, government, community, preservation, and the context in which our ancestors lived.

Our collection includes records for the following subjects:

- Indigenous Society: Learn about the community networks, culture, and removal of Indigenous Peoples.
- Black Society: See the court cases, lawyers, and movements that fought for Black personhood from the Antebellum to the Civil Rights Movement.
- Government and Labor: Find out about our early presidents, industries, and political groups.
- Preservation: Use our guides to find best practices on researching public history and exercising historic preservation.

Visit Special Collections today and understand your ancestors in a new way!
