Serving History traces the Historical Society’s evolution from what was in many respects a 19th-century private club into the current public institution with many new constituencies by the second half of the 20th century. As background for the book, Griffith interviewed many current and former staff members and trustees and conducted extensive research in the Society’s institutional archives as well as secondary sources.
