WORCESTER In the fall of 1990, Scott E. Casper, a doctoral student at Yale University, came to the American Antiquarian Society on a fellowship to work on his dissertation.
As a Kate B. and Hall J. Peterson Fellow he lived in the AAS s Goddard-Daniels House and went every day to the reading room and discovered new treasures, Casper said.
He was at the AAS for four months, Long enough to watch Worcester move from summer into winter, he said.
It was also an experience that transformed me as a scholar and as someone who thinks about American history.
Casper received his Ph D. in American studies from Yale, and the dissertation would eventually become an award-winning book, Constructing American Lives: Biography and Culture in Nineteenth-Century America (1999).
