Selected Bibliography and Suggested Readings Sources for the study of West Virginia history are extensive and widely scattered. Primary material for this study has been drawn from more than a score of libraries and archives. Four collections that have been indispensable are the West Virginia Division of Archives and History Library, Charleston, best for state archives and related materials ; the West Virginia Collection, West Virginia University Library; the Virginia State Library; and the Draper Collection of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Significant amounts of West Virginia material were also gleaned from the Library of Congress , the Virginia Historical Society, the Duke University Library, the Margaret 1. King Library of the University of Kentucky, and the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina. Bibliographical tools that facilitated ourresearch and are essential to all students of state history include Innis C. Davis, comp., Bibliography of WestVirginia (Charleston: West Virginia Department of Archives and History, 1939);Charles Shetler, Guide to Manuscripts and Archives in the West VirginiaCollection (Morgantown: West Virginia University Library, 1958);F. Gerald Ham, A Guide to Manuscripts and Archives in the West Virginia Collection, No. 11, 1958-1962 (Morgantown: West Virginia University Library, 1965); Earl G. Swem, "A Bibliography of Virginia, Part I," Virginia State Library Bulletin, vol. 8, nos. 2-4 (Richmond: Virginia State Library, 1916) and "A Bibliography of Virginia, Part 11," Virginia State Library Bulletin, vol. 10, nos. 1-4 (Richmond: Virginia State Library, 1917); and Harold M. Forbes, West VirginiaHistory : A Bibliography and Guide to Research (Morgantown: West Virginia University Press, 1981), which updates Charles M. Shetler, Guide to the Study of West Virginia History (Morgantown: West Virginia University Library, 1960). The listings that follow include some of the primary sources, books, and articles especially useful in the preparation of particular chapters. Since footnotes have been confined largely to verification of quoted material, they also constitute suggested readings for further information.
