·Historical and documentary terms applied to local history such as “Abstract,” “Culinary History,” and “Diaries.”
·Detailed entries for major associations and institutions that specifically focus on their usage in local history projects, such as “Library of Congress” and “Society of American Archivists”
·Entries for every state and Canadian province covering major informational sources critical to understanding local history in that region.
·Entries for every major immigrant group and ethnicity.
