The Lazy Scholar Takes a Digitial Tour of Pennsylvania History

The Lazy Scholar has started a series called “The Divided States of America” in which he virtually travels throughout the country calling our attention to various digital history collections.

Here’s how the Lazy Scholar describes the series:

But how did, and how does, the American state exist in popular imagination? In an effort to answer this question, I’d like to introduce a new ongoing feature of these dispatches: The Divided States of America. Many digital archives are, in fact, limited to individual states (as are many historical works), so it seems to make sense to identify some archives particularly useful to a scholar of, say, Wyoming. Plus I’m curious to see whether Missouri ultimately has a different vibe than Utah. Consider it a road trip, without traffic or smelly rest stops.

He begins with my adopted home state of Pennsylvania. (HT: AHA Today)
