Welcome to the McCormick Family Site
The McCormicks were a prominent family in South Central Pennsylvania who greatly influenced history and commerce in that area of the country. This site is dedicated to making personal papers, pictures and other documents of that family available to historians, students and the general public for the first time.

The purpose of this site is to facilitate research and an appreciation for the impact of a prominent family in a region's culture and history. In addition to family information, therefore, the site contains texts and images that can be useful in American studies, social history and culture studies in exploring themes such as gender, class, local history, youth culture, philanthropy, politics and visual culture. To make this kind of research possible, you can enter key words in the search engine, which will direct you to texts, images and essays relating to the key word. (Common key words include: politics, prominent family members [such as Vance McCormick, Colonel Henry McCormick], essays on gender, the Versailles Treaty.)

To get the most out of this site, therefore, we suggest that you visit our Featured Sections page, showcasing our most extensive/salient, most popular, and recently updated material, or enter search words in our search engine (to be implemented shortly), as mentioned above. We also offer general information about the McCormick family, listed in the black navigation bar at the left of each page.
