Catholic Historian's Handbook Carl Ganz Jr

Second Edition This book was written based on input from the members of both the New Jersey Catholic Historical Commission and the Diocese of Metuchen Historical Records Commission. The goal was to gather in one place all the advice, guidance, and collective experience of the two hundred plus combined years of academic service of the members of these commissions. The book's unofficial subtitle, Everything We Wish We Knew Before Starting Our First Catholic History Project, is a most apt one as we tried to embody in one short volume all the information, thoughts, insights, suggestions, and knowledge that would have helped us our first time performing research in this field. Our goal is to allow you to benefit from that experience, learning from our mistakes, so that you don't waste time or grow frustrated in your efforts in the field of American Catholic history.
