-=== Pennsylvania Counties === To learn more about the history and record-keeping systems of Pennsylvania counties, use the county archive inventories produced around 1940 by the Historical Records Survey. The Family History Library has copies of 17 published inventories and 40 unpublished inventories. See: ''Inventory of the County Archives of Pennsylvania: Records of the Works Project Administration, Pennsylvania Historical Writer's Project''. Historical Records Survey.

These records contain material on many counties that did not publish an inventory. A more current list is: ''County Records Survey, 1985-1986 [of Pennsylvania].''

Philadelphia County is not included, but Pittsburgh city is. A very helpful guide is Sylvester K. Stevens and Donald H.

This guide describes the records kept by the county, the information they contain, when most began, and important history of their development. Also helpful though dated is Irwin Richman, ''Historical Manuscript Depositories in Pennsylvania'' (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, 1965; Family History Library book 974.8 H23r). It provides a detailed description of the manuscripts in most libraries and archives in Pennsylvania in 1965.
