The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia builds from sources of many kinds, including books and articles written by scholars of the region’s history and contemporary issues. As a public service for readers and a research tool for the next generation of scholars, we have compiled a database of many important works published since the last major overview of Philadelphia history, Philadelphia: A 300-Year History, edited by Russell F. Weigley and published in 1982. The database also includes works listed in the “Related Reading” lists included on the topics pages of the Encyclopedia.
Follow the link below to view the entire database in the open-source bibliography platform Zotero (be patient for folders to load).
