Illuminating Reno's Divorce Industry | Reno Divorce History - 2 views

  •  
    Our students know that divorce is part of life, yet it is not a part of their history courses, it is rarely, if ever mentioned. Divorce has a history all of it's own, and many, many American's lives were shaped by it. In the early 1900s, the ability to obtain a legal divorce was difficult and in some instances, required relocation to a jurisdiction that offered liberal divorce laws. Although Las Vegas, Nevada might be known for quick marriages, it was in Reno, Nevada that legal divorces were available to residents who there for only six weeks. This online exhibit organized by Special Collections at the University of Nevada, Reno, Libraries, presents documents from the city's heyday as the divorce capital of the United States.

Ascoli Satriano, Puglia in the eighteenth to twentieth centuries - 0 views

  •  
    This is a little unusual. It's a site which uses the town of Puglia as a case study for kinship relations and marriage. Anyway, weirdness aside it has primary sources and that's what we're about.
