A brief bibliographical citation for each history has been provided. If subject headings were included in the record they have been listed. Codes indicate the libraries holding the histories (see list of library codes). The list is limited to monographs. While every effort was made to make this list as comprehensive as possible, the compiler is certain that it is not complete and welcomes any additions, corrections or amendments.
Many thanks to librarians who cooperated with this project and helped to identify qualifying works. Thank you to Emily who sent the location codes from the WV Library Commission. I have revised and added a few of the codes but have mainly used those provided. Special thanks to Brandon McArthur and Scott Elldredge of the BYU Library Digital Imaging Office for getting this online. Thank you also to Beverly Norton who has served as mentor for this project and for all those at the Harold B. Lee Library, BYU, who have assisted and encouraged me with this Union List of Local Histories.
