DOCUMENTS

According to Webster’s Dictionary, a document is, among other things, “a writing conveying information.” Historians use documents to explore the past and create them as they attempt to tell the stories they uncover. This page contains information about the documents themselves, some historical documents, more recent writings about the past and documents that tell some of the story of the Trenton Historical Society itself.
