Dr. Gertrude Ender Huntington will give a presentation entitled "My Amish Education: From Yale to Hired Girl to Grandmother." Huntington received her Ph.D in social science from Yale University; is a professor emeritus of anthropology, University of Michigan; and a pioneer in Anabaptist research. She began her research in the 1950s and also has lived in Anabaptist communities across North America. In 2008 Penn State acquired the Huntington Collection. Combined with the John Hostetler archival collection and the Christopher Gaines Memorial book collection, Penn State Libraries now has one of the largest Anabaptist archival collections in the country. The Huntington Collection includes field notes, audiotapes of interviews, journal articles, research materials, books, and community histories, compiled by Huntington over decades of study.
