About the Journal

The Journal of Erie Studies is an important local publication that examines the history and culture of Erie County, PA. It was first published in the spring of 1972, and most recently published in 2019.

The Journal of Erie Studies was replaced in 2024 by The Triangle, a Hagen History Center publication.

The digital archive is available through the generosity of Penn State University Libraries Open Publishing.
