The Trent Valley Archives is pleased to announce
the publication of An Historian’s Notebook: 100 Stories -- Mostly Peterborough -
This is the tenth book of Elwood H. Jones, a columnist
with the Peterborough Examiner, archivist at Trent Valley Archives, and
Emeritus Professor of History at Trent University. It is a history of
Peterborough in 100 stories. It is also about an historian at work, using the
raw materials of history to see the past with fresh eyes.
A smooth-reading book with about 100 illustrations, it
should appeal to people who have been reading the Examiner column, and to those
who have missed the column for one reason or another. It is a perfect gift for
people with Peterborough connections wherever they live.Its novel approaches should appeal to history
buffs everywhere.
