Press Release Summary: Thehistorybox.com is a non-profit, educational website
devoted primarily to New York City and New York State history, though it also
contains an extensive exploration of American history in general.

Press Release Body: History reveals the story of man\'s past and the progressive
development of humanity. The human evidence of how man had a determined influence
upon history , is found in their expressions of thought, art, culture and
politics.History depends on human evidence, not only in annals and chronicles , but
in all sorts of forms (monuments, buildings, artifacts, business papers, newspapers,
laws, traditions, vital statistics, literature expressing man\'s philosophy, science
and religion.) Historical evidence is extremely helpful in shedding light upon the
civilization of man and his deeds.

As for Genealogy,there is a growing interest that has been seen over the decades.
That natural instinct which prompts one to love the place of his or her birth, to
know the history of the origin and descent of a family or race, and the
circumstances in the lives of our progenitors is attracting the attention of the
intellectual public, in their never ending pursuit for answers.Thanks to many
established organizations and historical societies, within the towns of each state,
of this country that have taken great steps in securing and preserving historical
documents, newspapers and vital records on microfilm and placing them in climate
controlled facilities,for the benefit of future generations. America\'s sacred
symbols that have been vulnerable to the ravages of time, are also being restored to
their original forms.. Many libraries even have a genealogical department where
lineages may be inspected. Scholars are resurrecting older resources and are
beginning to rewrite selected histories in the light of new research on that
particular subject matter.

TheHistoryBox.com focuses on both History and Genealogy and is a source of
trustworthy information for literary scholars, writers, historical societies and
academic institutions.
