From the waning years of the 19th century through the first half of the 20th, thousands of mugbooks were published in the U.S. The term “mugbook” refers to a single or multi-volume collection of genealogies/biographies of accomplished individuals from a particular city, county, state, or region. Each essay is usually accompanied by a photograph of its principal subject, hence the term “mugbook.” Mugbooks differ from local histories in that they are generally unconcerned with political, social, or institutional history–except as those subjects had a place in the personal essays.
