Emily Clark pursues her Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University
and her dissertation title is “Renouncing Motherhood: Women's Sexualities and
Labors in Eighteenth-Century New England.” Emily spent a lot of time studying
notarial papers in manuscript collections. Insurance records do not at first
hearing inspire great interest; however, when you consider the various reasons
one makes a claim or needs a notary, you realize that these collections provide
windows into many aspects of ordinary life. Again, it is easy to make an
appointment, and below is a link to but one of the series.
