**DoHistory invites you to explore the process of piecing together the lives of ordinary people in the past. It is an experimental, interactive case study based on the research that went into Laura Thatcher Ulrich's book A Midwife's Tale and the film which followed, which were both based upon the remarkable 200 year old diary of midwife/healer Martha Ballard. Although DoHistory is centered on the life of Martha Ballard, you can learn basic skills and techniques for interpreting fragments that survive from any period in history.
Included in this desktop are Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's thoughts on writing
THE AGE OF HOMESPUN, as well as key images from the book accompanied by commentary.
