Step into Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, as it was recorded in 1922: meticulous, curious, and fiercely proud of place. History lives in the margins. Proceedings And Collections of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society for the Year 1922 (Volume XVIII), edited by Frances Dorrance, gathers the year's work of a leading regional institution into one enduring record. These historical society proceedings and annual society collections preserve an archival document collection of papers, notices, and institutional records that illuminate Wyoming Valley local history alongside wider American regional history. Readers interested in Pennsylvania 1922 history will find a grounded sense of how communities documented themselves: civic memory, settlement narratives, commemorations, and the patient assembling of evidence. It is also a snapshot of local scholarship before digitisation, when sources were hunted in attics, courthouses, and church registers. Casual readers will enjoy its glimpses of place, people, and pride here. For researchers, the volume serves as a genealogy research reference, pointing towards Pennsylvania genealogy records and pathways for Pennsylvania archives research; for science-minded readers, it reflects the Society's commitment to regional geology articles and the landscape that shaped local life. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume has been restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint -- a collector's item and a cultural treasure -- it belongs on the shelf of the local historians resource seeker, the family historian tracing names through the Wyoming Valley, and the classic non-fiction collector who values authentic primary materials.
