Pennsylvania Iron Furnace Source Book is a Bibliographical Source for the 18th and 19th century Iron Works of Pennsylvania: The Stone Blast Furnaces, Forges, Rolling Mills & Iron Works of Pennsylvania are indexed by Pennsylvania County and also in an everyname index which includes the owners and workers of the Furnaces & Iron Works, with links to individual furnace pages containing pictures, bibliographical sources , and location information for these iron works.

     With the increasing interest, both popular and academic, in the Industrial Heritage of Pennsylvania, there is a parallel need for research tools, such as bibliographics, which can provide research workers with essential information.  The 18th and 19th century Iron Industry in Pennsylvania is one of these areas in which much written material exists; but unfortunately, no main bibliographical source of these works has been done.  This work is an attempt to compile such a bibliography.  Although most main reference sources contain a bibliography, not one has broken these references down into sources for individual Iron Works.  The Iron Furnace Source Book of Pennsylvania is such a compilation.
