AJUEL Historical Social Sciences Library: Society, History, and Everyday Life

This library groups 91 public-domain works from the 19th and early 20th centuries around four overlapping subjects: society and culture, anthropology, social conditions, and customs of everyday life. The categories are not strict boxes; a single book may sit under more than one, and the connections between them reveal how social thought developed. For example, the historical sociology path pairs Veblen, Du Bois, and Addams to trace critiques of industrial society, while the urban conditions path moves from Mayhew's London to Brace's New York to the Chicago Commission's study of race relations. Start with any category or a featured author like Du Bois, H.G. Wells, or Charles Horton Cooley.
