Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from University Pennsylvania Libraries The "purposes" of the incorporation as set forth by the Charter are construed by the Company to sanction the taking in hand; - 1. The publishing of The Penn Germania, essentially along the lines hitherto followed, the various departments being so elaborated as to cover the fields of "Art, Science, Literature, State, Church, Industry and Genealogy" and make the magazine a specific periodical of history and current literature respecting citizens of German ancestry in the United States. 2. The encouraging of historic research by historians, genealogists, pupils in public and private schools, colleges, and universities. 3. The founding of a select reference library containing with regard to its special field, leading reference books, genealogical apparatus, transcripts of original records, books and pamphlets, clippings from current newspapers and periodicals, etc., etc. The field as thus laid out covers; - migrations, early and recent, with attendant causes and conditions; settlement and pioneer life including subsequent migratory movements; development, life in all its relations and activities down to and including the present; the family including literature, folklore and genealogy; noteworthy events in the Fatherland; discussion of current questions in the light of German history and ideals. The matter selected for publication must as far as possible meet the following conditions in the order given; - It must be "pro bone publico" and what subscribers want; it must be true to fact, entertaining, instructive, timely and typical. For the reference library whatever illustrates the life and thought of the German immigrant and his descendants is appropriate or "grist for the mill." Germanic Culture Germany´s cultural possessions, past and present, whether brought by emigrants, books, students, or other medium are invaluable to our nation and should not be eliminated or ignored, or blindly worshipped, but preserved, studied and assimilated.
