Annotated Bibliography of Selected Sources
for the Study of American Communal History

This annotated bibliography was compiled in the spring of 2004 and presented at the International Communal Studies Association Conference at Amana, Iowa in June 2004. Contributors were asked to provide annotated lists of useful sources for the study of specified communal groups.

The goal of this bibliography is to provide a useful resource for the study of American communal groups, drawing upon the bibliographic knowledge of recognized authorities on particular communal groups. Each bibliography reflects the expertise of the scholar/author who prepared it; therefore, each may look a little different.
