Abstract
In this Resarch Files article, author Tiah Edmunson-Morton documents her work to reconstructing the life of Luise Wagenblast, “who became Louisa Weinhard, wife of Henry.” As an archivist and educator, Edmunson-Morton spends her time among records and repositories that are filled with many voices, some of which are championed and others silenced. As she describes, “The history of nineteenth-century women’s work is often told through the story of husbands and sons,” and Louisa Weinhard’s life was no different. Through census records, newspaper accounts, and women’s group records, Edmunson-Morton “[knits] together the small bits left behind” to fill in the historical record.
