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.

- Shaker Historiography: A Brief Introduction to Writings on Shaker History by Elizabeth De Wolfe and Scott De Wolfe
