A very helpful source in addition to the above bibliographies is Dennis B. Downey and Francis J. Bremer, ''A Guide to the History of Pennsylvania'' (Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 1993; Family History Library book 974.8 H23g). Of special value is the description of research collections in Pennsylvania archives and manuscript repositories. However, it does not include genealogy societies.

Potentially helpful histories of Pennsylvania counties compiled in 1939-1942 is ''Historical Records Survey (Pennsylvania), Notes on County Histories and Points of Interest for American Guide Series ''(Family History Library films 1016396-401). The counties are filed mostly in alphabetical order, and while a general format seems to be followed, they vary in the kind of information given.
