Bibliographic Notes

The comprehensive histories of Cleveland usually start with William Ganson Rose, Cleveland: the Making of a City (Cleveland and New York: World Publishing, 1950) followed by the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History: 2nd edition (Bloomington and Indianapolis, 1996). There are other condensed histories on Cleveland and books about history and opinion about the future. There are studies of Cleveland’s ethnic and racial communities, cultural traditions and Cleveland art. In this last area, there are few books and many excellent written and photographic sources that can be found at Cleveland Museum of Art, Kent Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University, Cleveland Institute of Art, Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland, Ohio and the Archives of American Art and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. There are complete bibliographical notes in William H. Robinson and David Steinberg, Transformations in Cleveland’s Art, 1796-1946: Community and Diversity in Early Modern America. (The Cleveland Museum of Art. 1996)
