Hey researchers — the Journal of Erie Studies 1972 to 1976 is now online
Great news! The Journal of Erie Studies is online!
Our friends at Penn State University Press have created a digital version of our Journal of Erie Studies, published from 1972 to 2019. It was first published as a collaboration between the Erie County Historical Society, Mercyhurst University and later the Jefferson Educational Society.
A rebranded publication is currently in the works and will premiere in the coming months. The volumes from 1972 to 1976 are available now, and other volumes will be added until the archive is complete. This service is available thanks to the generosity of Penn State Libraries Open Publishing.
