 Trussell, John B. B. Jr. ''Pennsylvania Historical Bibliography''. Vols. 1-6. Harrisburg, Pa.: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, 1979-1989. (FHL book 974.8 H23p.) This work updates the bibliographies cited above. The library has vol. 1 only.
-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; FHL book 974.8 H23g).

 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''(FHL 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.
