Cardigan History Book
A 448 page commemorative publication celebrating the 75+ year history of a New Hampshire independent school for middle school boys. Structured in two halves, the volume offers historical context for current school life and a long-form narrative history; nearly 1000 images are reproduced from the Cardigan Archives, with text informed by archivist Judith Solberg’s interviews with all living heads of school.
“Building upon previous volumes by Robert C. Hopkins and Richard R. Rearick, Judith Solberg skillfully coaxes out the human story that connects us all through our time on The Point. Sifting through primary sources—letters, photographs, official and unofficial documents—she deftly connects the throughlines of each era as she highlights each unique moment in time. Readers may lose themselves in the words and images only to recognize that they’re right at home, communing with folks who may have lived a generation ago, in a place familiar to us all.”
