Many states have official historical journals that publish important works that explore the nooks and crannies of their respective locales. One such journal is Pennsylvania History, which serves as the official journal of the Pennsylvania Historical Association (PHA). The journal does not limit itself to exploring the Commonwealth’s history; it also features articles that focus on the broader region. Recently, the Pennsylvania State University Libraries and Press cooperated with the PHA to bring back issues of the journal online. Here visitors can browse through the journals from the year 1934 (the first year of publication) all the way to the year 2000. Some of the selections offered here include articles on the Pennsylvania anthracite industry and social life in Philadelphia during the American Revolution. It should be noted that there are some years that are not available on the archive, including between 1964 and 1970. The site is still quite interesting, and will be of use to scholars with an interest in the region or those seeking eminently readable material on the Keystone State and environs.
