Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Illinois State Historical Society: For the Year 1911, Twelfth Annual Meeting, Chicago-Evanston, May 17-18, 1911, Special Memorial Meeting, Springfield, April 14, 1911 Following the practice of the Publication Committee in previous years, this volume includes, besides the official proceedings and the papers read at the last annual meetings, some essays and other matter contributed during the year. It is hoped that these "contributions to State History" may, in larger measure as the years go on, deserve their title, and form an increasingly valuable part of the Society´s transactions. The contributions are intended to include the following kinds of material: 1. Hitherto unpublished letters and other documentary material. This part of the volume should supplement the more formal and extensive publication of official records in the Illinois historical collections, which are published by the trustees of the State Historical Library. 2. Papers of a reminiscent character. These should be selected with great care; for memories and reminiscences are at their best an uncertain basis for historical knowledge. 3. Historical essays or brief monographs, based upon the sources and containing genuine contributions to knowledge. Such papers should be accompanied by foot-notes indicating with precision the authorities upon which the papers are based. The use of new and original material and the care.with which the authorities are cited, will be one of the main factors in determining the selection of papers for publication. 4. Bibliographies. 5. Occasional reprints of books, pamphlets or parts of books now out of print and not easily accessible. Circular letters have been sent out from time to time urging the members of the Society to contribute such historical material, and appeals for it have been issued in the pages of the Journal. The committee desires to repeat and emphasize these requests. It is the desire of the committee that this annual publication of the Society shall supplement, rather than parallel or rival, the distinctly official publications of the State Historical Library. In historical research, as in so many other fields, the best results are likely to be achieved through the cooperation of private initiative with public authority. It was to promote such cooperation and mutual undertaking that this Society was organized. Teachers of history, whether in schools or colleges, are especially urged to do their part in bringing to this publication the best results of local research and historical scholarship. In conclusion it should be said that the views expressed in the various papers are those of their respective authors and not necessarily those of the committee. Nevertheless, the committee will be glad to receive such corrections of fact or such general criticism as may appear to be deserved.
